REVIEWS:

"Vital and original."

 The New York Times

"Offers wonderful opportunities for actresses to show off their versatility."

 Washington Times

"Martin's eye and ear for the texture of everyday life in this culture is as playfully accurate as Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner's. She's a fine quipster; but she manages, too, to open little windows of sadness into women's souls."
