Rave reviews already coming in:
“Stefan Sittig’s direction allows these two wonderful actors to create this memorable performance. The script is so rich in little subtleties, which the two actors deftly underscore for us…reminds us of what we miss so much — great live theatre and McNally’s great talent. This performance is a beautiful tribute to both. The acting is first rate.” -Susan Brall, MD Theatre Guide
“The theatrical magic was made abundant by the two actors under Stefan Sittig's direction, so good in their brash, literally in-your-face performances." -Roger Catlin, BroadwayWorld.com
