“IfQuentin Tarantino were to direct his own version of Office Space, it may comeclose to the level of comic firepower that is produced from this spot-on comedyby the incredibly talented Crystal Skillman.”
Michael Roderick, BroadwayWorld (Hack!)

“Justwhen you thought archaic forms of torture had lost their sex appeal… Skillman'susually canny play cuts a jagged swath between drama and thoughtful discourseon the topic of torture.”
Mitch Montgomery, Backstage (Critics Pick forThe Vigil or the Guided Cradle)

“Skillmanpicks up details of the trappings of our lives and makes them sing resonantly.”
