Trade Review
"Knowing his subject with chilling intensity, Mr. Williams peels off layer after layer of the skin, body, and spirit of his characters and leaves their nature exposed." -- Brooks Atkinson - The New York Times
"Be especially sensitive to the play as he's written it, as he saw and heard it in his imagination...this is not realism. This is a dream that keeps going wrong." -- Lanford Wilson - from his Introduction
