"The show is remarkably well designed ... Kate McGee’s lighting draws on a whole palette of luminosity, from the lone ghost light standing sentry to the dazzling whiteness that emanates, for a few startling moments, from beneath the stage. Long shadows abound, and so does a kineticism that combines superbly with the sound design (by M. Florian Staab, based on Mr. Gelb’s design) to transport the action from one milieu to the next. The final, clever image is one of light and moving shadow — technically simple, indelibly dramatic." - Laura Collins Hughes, the New York Times
“Director Joshua William Gelb and the company use “poor theater” conventions of making much with little—props emerge from battered suitcases, a big set reveal involves four strings of Christmas lights—and the result is homemade, tatty and warm. “ - Helen Shaw - Timeout New York
