Review:

"This haunting work may be the best piece of theatre this country has produced this millennium." —Globe and Mail (2011-02-08)

"Mouawad knows when to lighten the load with broad comedy, when to scent the air with poetry that lingers long afterwards, and when to use the inevitable building blocks of good dramatic structure to create a towering edifice of pain everyone must climb." —The Toronto Star (2012-06-25)
