REVIEWS
"Letts is a master of pitch-dark comedies that measure the grisliest depths of human behavior … Linda Vista is very funny, equally unsettling … An inspired, ruthless take on the classic midlife-crisis comedy" ~ Ben Brantley ~ New York Times
"Linda Vista is such a strong, warmly human, and emotionally satisfying comedy of crotchety manners … The dialogue is razor sharp … Altogether lovely, when you stop to wipe your tears from all those howls of laughter" ~ New York Stage Review
"Tracy Letts is a profusely gifted playwright. In Linda Vista the writing is so zingy and the playwright's voice so sharp … Some of his most compassionate writing" ~ Hollywood Reporter
