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.
— Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal - Best Revival of a Modern Play, 2017
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.
— Lynn Slotkin, Intermission Magazine - Best Production of 2017 & The Tootsie Award
