"Nerve-racking ... the portrait of a woman spectacularly ill-informed about herself is at times devastating." - Jesse Green The New York Times
"This is a play about complicity - about wives who tend to their husbands' honor even when they are violent or otherwise dangerous. But it's also about the social conditioning that taught those women when they were girls to put the menfolk first." - Laura Collins-Hughes The New York Times
"Devastating ... Thorne probes the nature of an unfortunately confused wife's challenge on where she places her loyalty to erring husband Jack and to teenagers Flo and Eli. Within that conundrum is the societal question of a wife's (sacred?) obligation to a husband no matter what she knows or suspects he's done." - NY Stage Review
