"An achingly sad, brutal, futuristic two-character comedy that is strangely sweet as often as it is chilling. Director Jerry Zaks is a master of dark comedy. The writing and rhythm are perfectly beautiful."
-- Linda Winer, Newsday
"Dianne Wiest is a joy from beginning to end. Under Jerry Zaks' direction, this is indeed a very stylish production."
-- Roy Sander, Back Stage
"A truly excellent science fiction play. Steve Tesich has authored, with a dazzlingly sinister wit, a most provocative and frighteningly funny play. Dianne Wiest and Richard Thomas are terrific, offering us a double tour de force."
-- Daily Record
Steve Tesich wrote this play with Dianne and Mandy Patinkin in mind. That's probably why her character is called Dianne. I don't know why Mandy didn't appear in the play.
Richard Thomas is probably most famous for playing John Boy in the Waltons TV series.
