REVIEWS

"A sharp and often emotionally vital world premiere [that] tackles the subject of dementia" ~ Kerry Reid, Chicago Tribune

"Dementia (whether in middle age or old age) has become the subject of a number of recent plays. Walker has very skillfully observed the extreme mood swings and erratic behavior that can accompany it … Walker’s play is full of surprises. And it is rooted in the kind of harrowing truths few people want to confront” ~ Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times
