“Marvel imbues the material with her full-bodied, red-blooded genius” – Time Out New York
“a magnetic intensity worthy of Long Day’s Journey Into Night“ – Backstage
“expertly told and full of spooky portents. Spousal abuse, alien abduction, cheating housewives-it’s all here. Or is it? Rattlestick Playwrights Theater’s dynamic and engaging new production keeps one guessing all the way.” – nytheatre.com
“Elizabeth Marvel, always a forceful and reliable presence on stage, is once again splendid in the role of Bridget …. Justin Chatwin provides strong support as Jeremy….
