The Sound Inside Reviews

'The closest thing that the American theater currently has to a David Foster Wallace, Rapp can give you the head rush of sophisticated literary allusion and unreliable narrative trickery a la Dostoevsky, and yet talk of Plano, Illinois, and let you know that he knows exactly how it feels a gripping stunner of a play'

* Chicago Tribune *

'Subliminal, sublime'

* New York Times *

'Stunning... hypnotic'

* Variety *

'A brutally beautiful fable about how writers live to writeand then forget to live'

* Observer *

'Both literary and rivetingly theatrical'

* Hollywood Reporter *

'A remarkable psychological mystery exquisite tenderness'

* Deadline *

'Real sensitivity and rapt intensity'

* New York Theatre Guide *

'Glimmering and hyper-literate... contained longing and emotional control... has a hypnotic power'

* The Stage *

'A dense and intense piece of storytelling theatre... full of erotic charge... like watching a metaphysical version of David Mamet's Oleanna'

* Guardian *

'Noir-ish and lean... enticingly metaphysical'

* Time Out *

'Very stylish and well crafted... some genuinely thrilling moments'

* Broadway World *

'Thrilling... a twisty narrative that serves up a sucker punch... a taut and tense 90 minutes that will leave you speculating about meaning, motive, action, and consequences. Buckle up and enjoy the ride'

* The Wee Review *
