“… the broken moments and revelations in Henderson’s play, both profoundly sad and playfully pointed add up to an affecting mosaic.” -Kerry Reid, Chicago Tribune
“an hour of raw emotional disclosure riveting our attention in an auditorium so intimate that opening-night playgoers were visibly holding their breaths during the delicate adagio involving the sharpened blade of a paring-knife. Tony Bozzuto’s and Tosha Fowler’s performances deliver an infectious synergy… allowing us nary a pause in our anticipation of the ending we know is inevitable. When it arrives, the catharsis can be felt throughout the whole room.” -Mary Shen Barnidge, Windy City Times
“…Through movement and prose, Henderson chronicles a marriage from its first timid, innocent acts of physicality to heart-wrenching separation, touching on the impassioned arguments that complicate it along the way. Fowler’s and Bozzuto’s tender performances cut through the occasional rhetoric. Their moments without speech speak more clearly than any dialogue—and when they laugh, they glow.” -Dan Jakes, Time Out Chicago
“From the explosive opening sequence where Tosha Fowler and Tony Bozzuto spar with each other like a couple of ‘roided cage fighters to the sensuous and devastating final moments, this is a disturbingly dysfunctional romantic life, lived to the max. Punches dissolve into passion, guilt evolves into giddiness. Every conflicting emotion makes a fleeting guest appearance.” – Bob Bullen, Chicago Theatre Addict
“…Trust you are in the excellent hands of director Victoria Deiorio who makes every moment feel brilliantly authentic. She has a perfect pair of stars in Tony Bozzuto and Tosha Fowler who fight as hard as they love. Scott Cummins and Julia Neary’s fights, Lindsay Jones original music and sound, and Samantha Umstead’s costumes are all pitch perfect. I don’t want to say any more, as anything I say cannot be praise enough. Bravo!” – David Zak, Chicago Stage Standard
