    What a stunning and necessary play! I love it! It will unfortunately always be completely contemporary and timely and brilliant. It is also something directors will all love to direct. Forever. It is absolutely compelling and intense. It is an instant classic that should be done everywhere all the time. We live in a barbaric world. This is better than Kafka.

    This is a jarring, incredibly powerful play. My jaw is on the floor. What a magnificent piece of art. This cost me something to read and it was ugly, but it was so, so well done. Incredibly timely and powerful, this play is under my skin and I don't think I'll get it out for a very, very long time.

    I first saw this play years ago; it's the kind of subject you'd hope would go out of date but regrettably it feels as electric and relevant as ever. This is the kind of thing theater's supposed to do: translate an idea into concrete, grounded drama with such immediacy that even audiences who think they already agree with the premise are discomfited and enlightened by the experience. Tight and relentless and necessary.
