    “ We pretend class is unimportant in the U.S. (go ahead, pull yourself up by your own bootstraps), but class prejudices are real and intersect with racism in devious, destructive ways. So welcome to Matteson from Cabrini Green, welcome to a dinner party as awful and memorable as Martha and George's, to an evening of mostly awful food and uncomfortable truths, and a couple self-destructing before our eyes, all played out with cork floors and 35-year old single malt Scotch hidden in the closet, and prejudices and attempts at connecting clashing hideously. Highly recommended. ”

    “ Deftly written. I will be musing over these characters, their assumptions, their plights, and their fates for some time. ”

    “ I so admired the seeming ease with which this play unfolded into layer after layer, the mark of a playwright who has both command of the craft and her characters. I expect we'll be seeing this one onstage very soon! ”

    “ The last time I read this play was months ago but the issues it touches on and the images it impresses into the soul stick forever. This play about the intersections of class, race and gentrification culture is an all-around winner. ”
