REVIEWS:

"Remarkable. An absurdist comedy of a fresh exciting elevation. Past clever and making its way towards brilliant."

Daniel M. Gold, The New York Times

"...shifts between profundity and screwball yuks."

Time Out New York

"The more nuts things get the more fun this light, whimsical, very well-acted play about the imagination is."

The New Yorker

"...engages and entertains while deconstructing the boundaries of theatrical production."

Asya Anderson, LA Splash

"Julian Schwab's engrossing comic commentary on the futility of one-sided relationships also server as a tribute to the theater."

Martin Hernandez, LA Weekly
