"Director Jeremy Johnson has pulled off an impressive feat of staging this challenging play with these 4 capable actors and very little else. Bravo!”
             - TheEdgeBoston.com

“…the Directors' Lab and the Mill 6 Theatre Collaborative's production is smartly executed, with tight direction by Jeremy Johnson that plays to Albee's deadpan strengths…”
             - Boston Herald

“Ardently played by Walter Michael Belenky as the Boy and Zofia Goszczynska as the Girl, as dominated by commanding performances by Jeff Gill as the Man, and Janice Hanson as the Woman, under Jeremy Johnson's well centered direction. Much praise is also due, for the aforementioned spare, yet quite effective, set designed by Caleb Wertenbaker. This provocative, incisive…exploration…of the delicate separation between reality and illusion… My Grade: 4.5  (out of 5)”
