Anita Gates, The New York Times
"Beginning with the second or third sentence, the audience knows that it is in the hands of masters, among them Ms. Washburn."
Anita Gates, The New York Times
"Ingeniously contemporary, eloquently delirious..."
Washington City Paper
"What characters! And what a story! It is the kind of story we begged our parents to tell us before we went to bed, and which thereafter kept us up all night... Euripides and Anne Washburn have conspired to tell an unforgettable story."

Peter Marks, The Washington Post
"Anne Washburn has a way of laser-targeting her language that makes the material explode, even at a distance of 3,000 years."
