“Mr. Gold’s direction is so passionately precise that it contrives to make most of the rough places plain enough. As for Mr. Rhys’s performance, it’s flat-out phenomenal.  I suspect it will be a long time before another revival as well cast and thrillingly staged as this one comes to New York." - Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal

"The acting is jazzy, sensual and dirty. Rhys is thrilling, with a great ear for his slashing speeches and a splash of Richard Burton’s whiskey growl in his timbre. Goldberg abases herself with perilous abandon. Parry is well cast as the flinty, arch Helena, and Driver continues to impress with his sly, boyish ardor."
