“Riveting… [a] stellar production, skillfully helmed by Eric Ting… powerfully human and ultimately sublime.” (VARIETY)

“Ting is a magician… terrific at making stage pictures that not only frame Drury’s big thoughts and bigger imagination but ground them so that the actors can take off.” (NEW  YORKER)
