'Whelan and her cast have mined every bit of humor and emotion with which Reza has imbued her play….wildly energetic… astounding and hysterical… delightfully intimate… the cast is nothing short of stunning' - Talkin Broadway

'highwire... nervy,...intensely rewarding' - Carolina Crawford Local News Matters
'The play, directed by Emilie Whelan, derives dramatic and comedic juice from how insane everyone drives everyone else while some mysterious magnetic force just won’t let them leave the room…like a watercolorist letting new hues pool, Whelan brings out still other qualities that attract through so much repellence. For all the men’s insistent airs and graces, their insecurity is bottomless. They keep brandishing their views in each other’s faces because those views mean nothing without the victory of validation, and it’s a delight in Whelan’s staging to detect the sniveling, groveling need that keeps pushing one toward the other, like children or puppies.'…Lily Janiak, SF Chronicle
