"The churn of daily ins and outs in this staging by the director Melissa Crespo, on a catalog-colorful living room set by the designer Shoko Kambara, has a familiar sitcom quality."
"Skillfully directed by Melissa Crespo, the play's explosive two-person dialogue feels consistently activated by immediate, unseen identities."
