    Kudos to playwright Ed Proudfoot who’s skillfully captured the language and all the bleakness and tragicomedy of human existence that’s so integral to the plays of Samuel Beckett. He’s balanced the overwhelming despair against just the right amount of black comedy, while keeping the play and its small cast of characters as minimal as the absurdist Irish playwright. - Recommended - Chicago Theatre Review - Colin Douglas
