QUOTES:
“The most richly enjoyable new play for grown-ups that New York has known in many seasons…In his most fully realized play to date, Mr. Baitz makes sure our sympathies keep shifting among the members of the wounded family portrayed here. Every one of them emerges as selfish, loving, cruel, compassionate, irritating, charming and just possibly heroic…leaves you feeling both moved and gratifyingly sated.” —NY Times.
“Astutely drawn…juicy and surprising.” —NY Daily News.
“Spending time with these messed-up, complicated people is a genuine pleasure.” —NY Post.
“Power, passion, and superbly crafted palaver stippled with blowdarts of wit—this is what Baitz does best.” —New York Magazine.
