REVIEWS
"[Bess Wohl's] darkly funny comedy takes a wry, compassionate attitude toward American workers barely clinging to the bottom rungs of the economic ladder" ~ The New York Times.
"Wohl's quirky comedy observes a few specimens of the embattled American working class Simmering beneath the heroic battle to succeed in a cutthroat market - and the great crisis when the franchise is abandoned by its corporate owners - is a metaphorically rich survival drama about individual pluck and group courage"~ Variety
