Reviews from Critics

“engaging...wonderfully creative...compelling...refreshing.”

“Shotgun is to be applauded, however, for pulling this off with nary a technological glitch, and taking on a subject that belongs on stage now...I would come back just to see Maynez; she really is a wonder.”
- Tony Frankel | Stage and Cinema
“a stirring, thought-provoking production...very enjoyable.”
- Brother Mark 7 Theatre
“the latest production from Berkeley's ever-adventurous Shotgun Players is an agonizingly of-the-moment, tailored-for-teleconferencing commission”
- Jim Gladstone | Bay Area Reporter
“It’s a relief to see a play that doesn’t pretend not to be on Zoom. And the cast, under director Elizabeth Carter, is strong.”
- Jean Schiffman | SF Examiner
