"Michael Weller approaches a painful subject from an unusual perspective forsaking documentary realism - the staple aesthetic for much theater about the current conflict - in favor of something more adventurous ... pungently written ... grimly comic" ~ NY Times
" ... a surreal combination of Frankenstein and Of Mice and Men ... a striking approach" ~ NY Post
