“ Lively and exuberant -- a play about publishing and posterity, about minutiae and dealmaking, that keeps its most famous character offstage and yet manages to be a rollicking high-stakes life-and-death drama about striving to recognize and preserve something fundamental about humanity itself. ”

“ This very human, deeply felt period piece -- about same-sex love in the face of bigotry and self-doubt in 1930s Wisconsin -- is partly a moving reflection on how tough things used to be, but also a sly warning that the roots of intolerance still run deep. ”

“ This play's preoccupation with violence against women makes it eternally timely; the erotic agency it assigns its characters makes it thrillingly complicated; the audacious theatricality of its imaginative fantasia makes it dizzying. The language is fantastic, the opportunities it offers for theatrical design are copious, and the play's implications are chewy and provocative. The main difference between Red Riding Hood and other girls is that Red only had one wolf to worry about. ”

“ This is impeccably written comedy; the play may seem deceptively unassuming in its modest scope and Aristotelian unities, but the rhythms and pacing of the dialogue are expertly deployed with ruthless precision. Two great roles offer actors the welcome combination of great laugh lines and unexpected depths. ”
