REVIEWS
-
“The gap between public persona and private self — and the immeasurable pain that can lie hidden there—is at the heart of (this) moving drama. Full of tart, succinct dialogue, alternating in tone between slashing wit and painful self-revelation, and is therapeutic without becoming pathetic.”
San Francisco Examiner

“...carefully attuned to the subtleties of the text and subtext.”
San Francisco Chronicle
