"Four stars. IRRESISTIBLY ODD AND EXCITING! Director Scott Ellis’ first-class production follows two misfits who share history of pain and a haunting empathy. Pablo Schreiber (“Lights Out”) infuses his performance with touching compassion. Jennifer Carpenter (“Dexter”) has an unvarnished openness that works beautifully. This darkly humorous drama is Rajiv Joseph’s most satisfying work" - Daily News
"ENTHRALLING! Two terrific actors face off in this sleek production, directed with a savvy balance of mordant humor and romantic longing by Scott Ellis. Pablo Schreiber and Jennifer Carpenter negotiate that uneasy push-pull with as much raw tenderness as tender rawness.” - The Hollywood Reporter
"Up-and-coming dramatist Rajiv Joseph is AN ARTIST OF ORIGINAL TALENT.” - The New York Times
"FLAWLESS PERFORMANCES! This wondrous strange two-hander finds as much humor as horror in the play’s bizarre events." - Variety
