Critical Response

“The cast brings life and color to their characters.”
—Laura Jones, Isthmus (August 11, 2016)

“In this absorbing and provocative play where the heat of romantic love interferes with life’s scientifically charted course, where the unpredictable and predetermined meet, this APT cast features excellent poetic form when playing what Stoppard also contemplated: ‘It is a defect of God’s humour that he directs our hearts everywhere but to those who have a right to them.’”
—Peggy Sue Dunigan, BroadwayWorld.com (August 15, 2016)
