"one of San Francisco's leading playwrights What's amazing bout Gotanda's attempt to graft '60s and Asian-American themes onto Ibsen's classic is how well it works[with an] intriguing dramatic resonance all its own" ~ San Francisco Chronicle
"[Gotanda] has successfully turned the drama into an opulently layered engaging piece about Asian-American and gender politics And in Gotanda's able hands, the character of Hedda, one of the most coveted theatrical roles written for a woman, proves resilient" ~ Mercury News
