“Critic’s Choice” - Los Angeles Times
“Critic’s Pick” - Backstage West
“...Human comedy par excellence, as if Chekhov were reincarnated in America’s Wal-Mart culture....Simpson’s sympathy and affection for (his character’s) weaknesses are signs of that rare combination of a humanist with a genuine sense of humor.” - Robert Koehler,
Los Angeles Times“...Witty and insightful...not just a very funny show, but an unexpectedly poignant and decidedly human one as well....Simpson writes with an unusual degree of humanity...” - Terri Roberts,
Variety “...Poignantly funny...Full of angst and unfulfilled desires, Simpson’s characters are heartbreakingly imperfect. Yet under the darkness, Simpson’s works shine with an essential sweetness that is often a rarity in modern theater” - F. Kathleen Foley,
Los Angeles Times “...Enchanting...delightfully funny and heartrending...With humor and despair always just a millisecond apart, Simpson’s understated style aims squarely at the heart of working-class ennui and scores a bull’s eye. This is a playwright worth watching.” - Les Spindle,
Backstage West“
