what the critics are saying
“A production that is jaw-dropping-astounding in every respect: direction, acting, visuals, effects, and maybe most of all, subject matter. Shotgun Players ups the ante to a must-see with a production that excels in every respect possible.”
EDDIE REYNOLDS- THEATRE EDDYS
“It’s an exhilarating night in the theatre… a production that is utterly riveting from start to finish.”

“In a drama that could be simply absurd, or comic, or one dimensional, or totally not believable, this production is, yes, funny at times, and shocking, but also heartbreaking… Albee leaves us pondering the human condition.”
JEAN SCHIFFMAN – BAY CITY NEWS
“A stunning production… jaw-dropping in its scope. Imagery that sears into the brain…”

Clarke and company do right by the playwright, wresting maximum impact from both his joking and his provoking.”
