REVIEWS:

"A gem… it shows an unshakable faith in our ability, as survivors, to endure – and, eventually, to regenerate."

The Sun

"The truth and poisonously warped perceptions of it are major themes in Theresa Rebeck’s new play… But this intelligent, compassionate, beautifully acted dramedy is not a downer. Rebeck has spiked her script with comedy."

The New York Times

"A tale of reinvention… the play once again showcases Rebeck’s remarkable gift for creating complex female characters and putting them at the center of her work."

Theater Pizzazz

"Rebeck here weaves a tale of interesting, flawed characters struggling to find their way through their own personal struggles toward each other. With laughter, drama, some wrenching plot developments, and more laughter. Much more laughter"
