REVIEWS:
"Disjointed, charming and bewildering, and somehow makes emotional sense -- in short, playwright Walt McGough has captured dream logic exactly."
Mark Gail, The Washington Post
"Manages to be both a heady and emotional take on an aliens-among-us story, along with a healthy dose of often absurd humor."
Ian Buckwalter, Washington City Paper
"McGough's play zips by in a mere 50 minutes, but it's no lightweight."
Jeffrey Gantz, The Boston Globe
