REVIEWS:
"...it's brashly entertaining. And it's full of moments of quirky insight."
Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times
"...the rapid-fire overlapping dialogue flows quickly and naturally... In contrast, the scenes with the four wives have a supernatural, poetic quality that nicely captures the symbolic nature of the characters."
Jena Tesse Fox, BroadwayWorld.com
"...an alternative to the pseudo-objective docu-theater of Anna Deveare Smith and her artistic progeny."
Jason Zinoman, Time Out New York
