REVIEWS
'An astonishing play… flawless' ~ New York Times
'Hypnotic and confoundingly dramatic…Will take your breath away' ~ Variety
'A brutally beautiful fable about how writers live to write—and then forget to live' ~ Observer
'The closest thing that the American theater currently has to a David Foster Wallace, Rapp can give you the head rush of sophisticated literary allusion and unreliable narrative trickery à la Dostoevsky, and yet talk of Plano, Illinois, and let you know that he knows exactly how it feels… a gripping stunner of a play' ~ Chicago Tribune
