“Chekhov high on speed and Twinkies. A Work as ferocious as Mr. Bogosian’s own one-man shows.” -David Richards, New York Times
“A scarifying dissection of youthful disillusion that manages to be both appalling and appealing.” -Newsweek
“Bogosian’s script retains the playwright-performer’s trademark vitriol and hammer wit.” -TimeOut New York
