Reviews
"The acting is excellent, and the direction and writing superb....Writer/director Einhorn handles the depths of these kinds of dilemmas with an impressive ease. As a neuroscience writer, I can attest that this is difficult to achieve. "
— Stephen Macknik,
Scientific American
"A fascinating creative deep dive into neuroscience and its application in 21st century marketing......All four performers give flawless performances...Einhorn's powerful directorial vision is evident in every moment."
— Jacquelyn Claire,
Stage Biz
"The production's video design (by Magnus Pind Bjerre) and sound (by Sadah Espii Proctor) are excellent, particularly when Amy's exhibition takes over the set (by James Boutin)...Mr. Trumbull cracks to reveal pain, self-awareness and strong-willed dignity. It's a subtle performance, the sneaky anchor to the show, and gradually we realize we've fallen for him."
