REVIEWS

CRITICS PICK! "Powerful! Remarkably of the moment..." - The New York Times

"Provocative drama. An articulate calculus of loyalty and betrayal." - The New Yorker

"A contemporary emotionally charged family drama." - Time Out New York

"Passionate. Fascinating. A heartbreaker. Hastor's characters have strong, detailed specificity..." - Newsday

"Powerful tragedy...Its real strength may be in the way its nuanced characters muddy notions of right and wrong." - Economist
