Here are some tasty reviews!
“Byrne writes like someone who knows laughter is leverage. He gets you to give it freely, then makes you feel the bill in your teeth. The play is at times hilarious, at times horrific, and consistently soulful, even as it turns the blade. You think you’re settling in for a myth you know, then the script starts shifting the floor under your feet.”
