"A corker.... exceptional performances...Thanks to Michael Hardart's taut and intelligent direction, the melodrama bubbles vigorously but never boils over… Throat-catchingly good." – Erik Haagensen for Backstage

“The kind of history that refuses to stay neatly tucked away in the past...  this production, directed with a sure sense of drama by Michael Hardart, has a kind of pulpy propulsion” –Rachel Saltz, for The New York Times

“The remarkable cast, straightforward and lacking affectation, actually makes you care for these people, even the evil hypocrites….  Michael Hardart’s direction kept the heavy-handed writing from becoming bogged down and made brilliant use of the tiny playing area…. there were so many moments where glances and physical attitudes said more than the words, that it was clear that Mr. Hardart knew how to keep the dramatic thread of the plot, as well as its undercurrents, alive.”
