Reviews
"I haven’t read this play, but I imagine the most frequent stage direction is: “Mayhem ensues.” And it does, especially when Lynn’s fight choreography takes over the second act for a spectacular and hilarious battle."
- Philadelphia Inquirer
"Eli Lynn supplies elegant and expressive fight choreography."
- Broad Street Review
