“ A stunningly beautiful play. Sometimes, like Dmitri, we don't know the true meaning of our epiphanies, and it takes those who understand the meaning to allow us to understand, without ever saying themselves what it is. Clear, witty, richly textured. With wit, some pratfalls and, ultimately, with feeling that goes octaves deep. ”

“ This play blends hilarity, heartbreak, simple twists of fate, and what it feels like to be in a deep well of grief. It's got Beckett-like absurd humor between Matt and Larry and, like a yogurt parfait, manages to keep the granola separate: the stunning simplicity of its coda. ”

“ Such a surprising, sharp, funny and carefully crafted short play. Not only strong in performance, the piece also works beautifully in playwriting classes as an example of masterful exposition. We get the whole story, eventually, but lean forward at every minute trying to piece together the truth of these characters. (And it's not necessary to have seen Glenda Jackson's Lear, but if you did catch it in NYC, there's some extra joy to be found in this.) ”

“ Madeleines is a gorgeous play, capturing in clear strokes the ways in which our lives and our sense of self are continually redefined as we understand more deeply how we came to be where we are. Debra and Jennifer's relationship become increasingly complex as it becomes more honest, and their journey to connect to their family and each other through the complexity of cooking is wrought in beautiful detail. A resonant piece for all of us who hold (and interrogate) the traditions passed on and the traditions withheld. ”
