"Spellbinding....The play has it all soul, suspense, symbolism and surprises. Add to that medley a dash of humor and a speck of irony" ~ Denver Register
"The moon is more than a place for the misbegotten. It's a godless wilderness where hopes, dreams, fears and frustrations are easily cauterized; where love and death co exist in zero gravity. Yet it is also a perfect allegorical backdrop for human frailties, especially the loneliness of the long distance heroes" ~ Rocky Mountain News
"Stars twinkle all around and the big blue marble of earth eerily arises in this haunting new play" ~ Time Magazine
