- KCRW

"EXTRAORDINARY!... INTENSE!...For those who attend, there will be much to discuss afterward!" 
- Pasadena Star News

"ONE OF THE YEAR'S MOST REWARDING AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING PRODUCTIONS...Under Dámaso Rodriguez's taut and incisive direction, this cerebral political thriller explores complex and urgent themes in a riveting 80 minutes of nail-biting tension and ironic laughter."
- Frontiers Magazine

Primo in every aspect...powerful performances from all with gripping and gut wrenching directorial choices and inventive staging."
- Tolucan Times
