REVIEWS:

"A sizzling partisan entertainment… the witty toppers keep coming."

New York Stage Review

"Sharp and smart, convincing in its understanding of the characters as we know them, and often refreshingly funny."

Christopher Isherwood, The Wall Street Journal

"Diverting… N and A are perfect incarnations of their congressional doppelgängers... gives [the actors] tasty roles and a meaty conflict to sink their teeth into."

The New York Times

"Thoughtful writing… N/A feels wholly authentic in its depiction of a series of conversations between the venerable power broker and the progressive firebrand."

Frank Scheck, New York Stage Review

"It all has the clangorous, rancorous ring of truth… the witty toppers keep coming."

David Finkle, New York Stage Review
