REVIEWS:
"[Hunter] probes the very roots of American identity by way of its latest national crisis, engaging a foreign war from the home front, and questioning the value and role of religious belief in the most fundamental and relatable ways."
Benjamin Sutton, The L Magazine
"...a quirky black comedy...a stylized dark lark in the tradition of John Guare and Christopher Durang..."
David Cote, Time Out New York
"Bib's crisis of faith is very real -- and treated with a clarity and lack of condescension that is increasingly rare on stage."
Mark Peikert, Backstage
