REVIEWS
" moving, exciting and profoundly eye-opening" ~ NY Times
" ... genuinely entertaining and edifying brilliantly dramatized" ~ CurtainUp.com
"[Lew] has constructed - well and tightly constructed - a thoroughly engrossing and entertaining play that zips through humor and pathos, building inexorably to its climax. It echoes the Shakespearian [sic] plot without simply aping it, and it's filled with humor, Richard-referential and otherwise" ~ NYStageReview.com
