Best Revival of a Modern Play, 2017
- Wall Street Journal
PRESS“This revival, directed by Krista Jackson, is so completely involving that you’ll hold your breath as you follow it’s characters down a path that winds from gentle nostalgia to piercing heartbreak. A perfectly wrought version...Nothing is allowed to get between you and the play: It is as though Friels’ words had come directly to life in your mind and hearts.”
“Love suffused the production as well from Krista Jackson’s sensitive meticulous direction to the acting of the whole cast...A production as delicate as fine Irish lace.”
