    A taut, tense gut-punch of a play. What Mark Loewenstern is able to achieve in just ten pages is simply amazing -- an intense emotional ride that leaves us shaken and breathless. Bravo!

    A truly funny two-hander ... a feast of pitch-perfect vaudevillian banter served with a generous helping of heart. Should be an absolute crowd-pleaser!

    A four-character, beautifully-crafted work that is clever, compassionate, highly imaginative and deeply moving. Well-deserving of widespread production!

    Comedy with a nifty cosmic twist ... and another welcome gift to us from the endlessly inventive Morey Norkin. A play that makes you laugh, then causes you to contemplate the universe. Thank you, Morey!

    A boldly ambitious -- indeed, monumental! -- tour de force. Breathtaking in concept, delightfully lyrical in execution, it's a thoroughly stunning achievement overall. University theater programs -- and Shakespeare festivals nationwide -- please take note!

    An expansive and thoroughly engrossing play featuring vivid characters and crisp dialogue. Important, inventive, magical, and -- in the end -- life-affirming, it engages your heart and your soul as well as your mind. Would love to see this fully mounted on-stage!
