Critics Review

LaBute’s great gift is to live in and to chronicle that murky area of not knowing, which mankind spends much of its waking life denying.

“LaBute meticulously plans that the shocking, climatic revelations should cast dark light upon his apparently average people.” –Nicholas de Jongh, The Standard

“LaBute’s great gift is to live in and to chronicle that murky area of not knowing, which mankind spends much of its waking life denying.” –John Lahr, The New Yorker

“A piece whose intricate layers of treachery are worthy of David Mamet.” –Paul Taylor, The Independent
