    Fabulous! I love the purposefully disconnected fragmentation as a metaphor for the immigrant experience. The characters and their tall tales - the tales we have to tell to manage our lives - how even the American woman who is cared for by Agnes and Roza is disconnected in much the same way that they are and paralyzed too, but the transformation for Agnes is breathtaking. In contrast to its dark subject matter, the play has great humor and heart!

    This play is a brilliant intersection of multiple storylines and characters, and a moving examination of the reality of being an American immigrant.

    Loved this play, am thinking about how to bring it to a small stage in a new theater co. So adeptly approaches the complex issues and disillusionment of the immigrant in the US and of the dream. Well written.

    I've loved this show for a very long time. I got a chance to see its development over the years, from arena Stage to Mixed Blood. Quite a moving piece of theatre
