"One of the most Intelligent and sobering plays in the short history of gay theater." - Stage and Cinema

"There's no excuse not to see this raw and riveting psychological drama. Though some might shy away, the play's intense and demanding sexual scenes, including nudity, didn't scare off these actors." --Mark Cofta, Philadelphia City Paper

"Earnestly performed by Peter Andrew Danzig and Thomas Raniszewski, who play all the roles skillfully. Karen Case Cook's stark production became more impressive by degrees as it unfolded." --Howard Shapiro, Philadelphia Inquirer
