REVIEWS
"Bold and engaging ... rich in detail and full of humor and pathos" ~ Oakland Tribune
"Swaggering eccentricity ... Callaghan takes a lavish mud bath in a broken language ... Ripe apocalyptic slang; at its best, it's racy and unrefined, the kind of stuff you might imagine kids in the back alleys of a decaying world might sling around" ~ The Washington Post
"... a comically engaging, subversively penetrating look at the human cost of unbridled capitalism on both sides of the river ... the anger of the play's social vision is partly concealed by its copious humor, emerging more forcefully after it's over ... bristles with bright, comic originality, particularly in depicting the limitations of its people" ~ San Francisco Chronicle
