"Crackling good dialogue and timely themes ... Powers weaves together multiple strains of plot and character with a seasoned pro's skill. His mission to present a believable slice-of-life with contemporary resonance is, like Clay's, achieved in a decisive knockout." –Variety
"An astounding debut for playwright Kemp Powers ... Superb across the board ... breathtakingly good. There just aren't enough superlatives. Powerful, funny, exhilarating - what a play." –

The mind keeps flashing back and forward, even as the play grips us with the immediacy of the hotel room. Great theater hits you hard and in many places. That's exactly what you get from the powers of this play." –
