One of my favorite plays, ever. So beautifully human and timeless. The reading I saw is seared into my heart. These deserves to be an American classic and I recommend it highly! ”

- Ross Tedford Kendall:20 Sep. 2019“ Uncompromising, stark, and somehow keeping hope in the face of brutality. The war may have passed into history, but human nature and human dignity will keep this play relevant for years to come. ”
- Aleks Merilo:21 Jan. 2019“ Gritty, desolate, painfully human. While the characters exist in the closest thing imaginable to hell on earth, the playwright keeps the audience engaged with the heartbreaking hint of hope. To hold the audience engaged through such a dark situation is a herculean feat that the playwright seems to execute effortlessly. Lewis also sets up a brilliant structure, isolating 2 narratives until they blend seamlessly. ”
- Michael Carnow:30 Mar. 2015“ No hyperbole - this is one of my favorite plays of this century. A beautifully haunting script about how people grasp to hope in hopeless situations. 4 civilians are taken hostage and grapple with what to value, what to hold onto, and what to let go. This is a script about what it means to be human. Read this now. ”
