Wickedly dark ... hilarious, quirky and heartfelt. -- Variety A small masterpiece. -- Globe and Mail A devilishly funny play [that] laughs in death's face. -- Maclean's This is one of those rare, liberating plays that actually breaks a taboo. [Panych] gives voice to the silent thoughts that hover around many death-beds. -- National Post Literate, incisive, edgy and lots of good, naughty fun. -- Syracuse New Times It causes us to think about, and perhaps appreciate in a new light, all the small things in life that ultimately define the relationships that matter most. -- San Francisco Chronicle
