"SEARING, SMART, AND REALLY, REALLY FUNNY! Gina Gionfriddo's one-liners pop like rockets! A comedy so sharp you don't even notice the blade slipping until it's pierced you to the bone. A comedy of manners for moderns. It's clear why Becky Shaw was up for a Pulitzer. It will go down nicely with a stiff drink."
— Boston Herald
"OUTRAGEOUSLY AND BRILLIANTLY FUNNY! A tour-de-force masterfully handled by a killer cast. We leapt to our feet at curtain, me with the thought of when, and how soon I could see it again!"
— Joyce Kulhawik
"IRRESISTIBLE! WE LAUGH, AND OFTEN! Director Peter DuBois brings a polished production that shows off the play's pointed humor."
— The Boston Globe
"I loved the way Gionfriddo brings the play to the edge! So rich and real it may leave you rethinking your beliefs about relationships and love."
— The Patriot Ledger
"FEROCIOUSLY FUNNY! A tangled tale of love, sex, and ethics. A big box of fireworks fizzing and crackling across the stage. It's a corker of a new play."
— The New York Times (January 9, 2009)
"Gina Gionfriddo is some kind of GENIUS!" — Variety
"5 STARS! This may be the funniest play of the season!" — Time Out New York
"A lacerating comedy about morals, marriage, and social mores gone sour." — American Theatre
- Becky Shaw on "Greater Boston" — CenterStage, 03/24/10

The room isn’t much to look at — a neglected space, decorated in an Early Hobo motif, with just a few posters from past Huntington shows hung haphazardly on the walls. But the mood changes when Peter DuBois enters...
