Published Reviews

"The cracklingly funny dialogue summons up the feel of a raunchy gossip session that includes an uncomfortable, almost violent game of one-upmanship."

Jason Zinoman, The New York Times

"...a smart, elegantly simple three-character play for strong women actors that moves like lightning -- any theatre that wouldn't touch it is missing out."

Loren Noveck, NYTheatre.com

"This is a witty, bitterly mocking play. Playwright Winter Miller has written a tight, carefully structured script."

Jenny Sandman, CurtainUp

"The dialogue that Winter Miller sets down on the stage for her characters is very conversational, which makes her characters as believable and tangible as anyone I know off-stage."

Timothy John Papp, OffOffOnline
