"Harris Yulin's direction has drawn adroit performances from the entire cast. A dandy crew to spend two hours with." - Don Nelsen, Daily News

"Tom Kamm's set and Candice Donnelly's costumes evocatively reproduce the tackiness of Queens, circa 1973." - Frank Scheck, Back Stage

"Baba Goya, splendidly revived, is still very entertaining. Baba Goyais played by Estelle Parsons with an effective, tough sort of charm that does not over-emphasize this character's eccentricity. Thom Sesma is very funny." - William A. Raidy, Staten Island Advance

Square One was selected through The AT&T New Plays for the Nineties Project.

"An achingly sad, brutal, futuristic two-character comedy that is strangely sweet as often as it is chilling. Director Jerry Zaks is a master of dark comedy. The writing and rhythm are perfectly beautiful."- Linda Winer, Newsday

"Dianne Wiest is a joy from beginning to end. Under Jerry Zaks' direction, this is indeed a very stylish production." - Roy Sander, Back Stage

"A truly excellent science fiction play. Steve Tesich has authored, with a dazzlingly sinister wit, a most provocative and frighteningly funny play. Dianne Wiest and Richard Thomas are terrific, offering us a double tour de force." - Daily Record

"Keep your eye on actress Christine Estabrook, who gave an excellent performance not long ago in Israel Horovitz's The Widow's Blind Date, and is now giving an even better one in What a Man Weighs. There is intelligence, truth and range in her portrayal of the complex leading character." - William Wolf, Asbury Park Press

"What a Man Weighs is a contemporary romantic comedy with some serious things to say about sexual politics. Richard Cox is a seductive charmer. Katherine Hiler is wonderful. And Christine Estabrook has more facets than a diamond." - Leida Snow, 1010 WINS Radio

"Sherry Kramer is an exceptionally stimulating writer." - William A. Raidy, The Star-Ledger

"Jersey City holds one's rapt interest all the way through, and provokes lots of thought and conversation afterwards. Let's salute Second Stage for having the guts to produce this play." - Michael Sommers, Back Stage

"All the way through Jersey City, except for what was happening on stage you could hear a pin drop. The audience, so I judge, was holding its breath. God knows I was. You could hear that pin drop until the rifle volley of applause at the end. Tell you something: extreme as is its content, I believed it." - Terry Tallmer, New York Post

"It is a brilliant, brilliantly felt performance by a young actress whom I had never seen before, whom I imagine I will be seeing again, as will you. Her name is Allison Bartlett." - Rick Harris, WBAI-FM
