    “ This play is exciting and transgressive in all the right ways. It’s also searching and touching and even a tearjerker. I’m thrilled by it and scared by It in equal measure, but I can’t wait to hear what people - Jewish people especially - have to say about it. ”

    “ Angry, funny, and moving in equal measure. Marlin has created a really powerful work that I desperately hope I get to see on-stage some time soon. Our theatrical and political history is put under the microscope and the balance sheet is far from good. Marlin sets fire to the theatrical canon and makes you glad to watch it burn A powerful work ”
