Well-deserving of all its awards, this is a thrilling dramatic piece that I read with such hope for the characters! And it is so wonderful to have Charlotte and Emily on stage with all the difficulties of their lives in such an imaginative story that makes Rochester and Jane Eyre live again, and the maid Justine - O'Grady is more than a sly historian, she is a mischief-maker!

What a wonderful play - from a sentence written by Dostoyevsky, Carabatsos makes a whole new piece, and it sings! I love the words and the birds. Fascinating and filled with so much dramatic tension, great moments - the destroying and rebuilding of lives - a memorable play!

I saw this read in Omaha, and it is a dynamic and fascinating story. There is great tension between the students and the teachers - not the typical tension of schoolroom expectations but Reisman exposes a grand disconnect between the goals of schooling and the needs of these students wholly at odds with each other, separate worlds that collide and create a moving distinct experience. Unforgettable!

Here is a parody of a very famous play by a very famous man that does pretty much what that guy did only funnier and in only ten pages, and without all that nasty language! Jolly does with life insurance what some other guy did with real estate only I am so happy to recommend this! And life insurance is a much better choice, dramatically, because it's life insurance, and you probably don't get paid if you lie down in front of a bus. Read this as a matter of policy.

Does Don Zolidis know about this? I won't tell him, but this is a very funny satire that will keep them laughing and rolling in the aisles! Excessive in all the best ways!

Beautiful play about the fleeting nature of life! The characters are so wonderfully drawn, and their secrets are deep, and they have great desires that keep them pressing onward. It feels like a fairy tale for grown ups. And sometimes it is only a fairy tale that satisfies.

This is a very funny one-person play with great roles! I found the information massively interesting - this is such a disorder of our time with so many people suffering, and the play actually helps us all understand how to deal with it because Ben performs the solution for us! Save us all a lot of therapy and tour the country with this play!

Characters I relate to as if they were my own, but from Jersey, at the same summer camp I went to, with the same parents only better off, and I loved them: the way the parents dig at each other, how Mike T functions to enhance our sense of their entitlement, how trapped they all are and what it says about LIFE - all while laughing!

Beautiful broad-reaching big-picture Wilderesque play that reaches out to pull its audience into its grip and then holds us enthralled for quite a long time full of moving moments. Polak does a great job with a large cast ensemble piece that evokes so much about this country, he just might break the spell we've been put under.

Disturbing and true - a lot packed into this play as it spirals downward - but for me, I was laughing early and often, moved by so many great moments! Like the daughter cleaning up after her mother, so much loss and lost-ness and cluelessness, even Hillary's simple demands are impossible to meet. I'll be thinking about this one.
