Reviews

"A real jaw-dropper. [Guirgis's] imagination is dazzling and his command of language downright thrilling." --Marilyn Stasio, Variety "Guirgis may be the most extravagantly talented . . . playwright in America . . . To put it clinically, he is a master of American urban vernacular; to put it as one of his characters might put it, the s---- is real." --Jeremy McCarter, The New York Sun
