" A tart and tasty production...hillarious, quirky and heartfelt.
Panych's wickedly dark script and
Stephen DiMenna's deft helming....bring about an audience stunner
that gets one of the biggest sustained laughs in memory.
Timothy Busfield has a field day with it"

- VARIETY

 

 

" A delcicious surprise...a rewarding, eloquent and

satisfying production. "

Stephen DiMenna makes it more than just a funhouse farce.

It's a small gem"

- The New York Times

 

 

" An outrageously comic and heartfelt abusrdist comedy.

DiMenna directs with contrasts between

poignancy and macabre humor."

" A rollicking journey that must be seen to

be believed.

" Timothy Busfield is downright riotous.

A brilliant and relentlessly funny production."

"We laugh spontaneously at the absurdity, but when

we catch out breath, we are deeply moved."
