""No one pricks the conscience of right-on, left-leaning theatergoers better than this impish, idiosyncratic polymath."" - Matt Trueman, Variety ""Wallace Shawn writes like no one else. His stuff is scary, gripping, and hilarious."" - Ben Marcus, New Yorker ""Wallace Shawn always takes you on an unexpected journey. You come home bruised, perplexed, laughing, afraid. And, because he's such a good writer, very happy."" - Caryl Churchill ""Wallace Shawn is at once the US's most profound and most overlooked playwright."" - David Hare
