Bovell.has created a quietly spellbinding puzzle of a universe that is as stealthily thrilling and defiantly mystical as it is catastrophically melancholy. -Newsday. "Bovell's time-hopping structure is intricate but surprisingly natural-never strained or purposely obfuscating. Rather, as in the works of Faulkner, it is a powerful metaphor for the impossibility of escaping the past, for the way we are all shaped by what came before-and are living in the shadow of what comes next." -Time. "Bovell's play is weighty stuff, a work of great sorrow and beauty." -Variety.

"Bovell weaves in symbolic imagery and the repetition of key phrases. This gives a surreal feel to the enterprise, without lessening its emotional impact." -TheaterMania.com.
