Reviews
"The script handles the kaleidoscope deftly, often humorously, and avoids the pretentiousness that often attends such heady pursuits"
— J. C. Wright, Stage Buddy
"Honeywell gives a phenomenally nuanced, ghostly griot performance unlike anything I've ever seen...Miller's motion effects a physicality the equal of Einhorn's emotional coloration in giving dimension to Auster's visionary schema of thought and being"
— Adam McGovern,
HiLoBrow
"Mr. Einhorn and his designers do a fine job with the setting (a low-budget approach that conjures a noir atmosphere, thanks largely to live music from Freddi Price) and Mr. Honeywell makes an effectively untrustworthy narrator."
