. . . provocative, witty and deeply upsetting . . . a searching and radical
rethinking of Ameri-can political drama."—Frank Rich, The New York Times
"Something rare,
dangerous and harrowing…a roman candle hurled into a drawing room . . .
"—Nicholas de Jongh, London
Evening Standard
"Playful and profound,
extravagantly theatrical and deeply spiritual, witty, and compassionate,
furious and incredibly smart . . . It’s impossible to imagine anyone captivated
by the beginning not wanting—needing—to go back for the end."—Linda Winer,Newsday

impressive work of the imagination and intellect, a towering example of what theatre
stretched to its full potential can achieve."—Clifford A. Ridley, Philadelphia Inquirer

masterpiece."—John Lahr, New
