"Einhorn has packed many other notions into this often whimsical and just as often serious play...a raw, intimate, and ultimately quite moving portrait of how a playwright shapes and molds his characters to come up with something original and his own. Firmly in the center of things is Alyssa Simon in a brilliant performance as Jane."
