– San Francisco Chronicle

“Should you see it? Absolutely. As ever, with the San Francisco Playhouse, the production is beautifully mounted, and features some first-class performances.”

– Examiner.com

“Dark and entertaining… As always at San Francisco Playhouse, the production values are high.”

– San Francisco Examiner

“A handsome production that genuinely surprises … It’s all amusing, clever, disturbing, and vaguely surreal.”

– Bay Area Reporter
