"With its unrelentingly high tension on every level -- maternal, marital, societal -- it's more like a slice of a nightmare, with few contours despite its surprises."

"This play elicits gasps from the audience."
NY1
"Playwright Demos-Brown is a clever phrase-maker, and he delights in using language that vividly illustrates the social and educational gulf."
