REVIEWS:
"If you are looking for an exhilarating, raucous, hilarious, roller-coaster ride of a show, a genuine gem from start to finish, you must drop whatever you're doing and run to see Chisa Hutchinson's Dead and Breathing."
MD Theatre Guide
"A provocative and witty look at a controversial issue, the right to die, as well as a frank take on sexual identity and religion."
Theater Life
"In the course of ninety relentless minutes the play twists and turns through a number of absudly funny as well as deeply touching revelations about the life of each character until the two ultimate revelations that have to do with the presumed versus the actual identifying label under which each of them operated."
NY Theatre Wire
"[A] funny and spirited tale about assisted suicide."
The Washington Post
"An engaging, heartfelt exploration on death and the need for redemption."
