“Like a volt of lightning to Frankenstein’s unanimated corpses, Carman’s performance is electrifying…The production is punctuated with vocal and musical performances by the characters and this adds a vivacious quality of life. [T. Bone] Burnett crafts great snippets of songs to really allow the characters to express themselves in the strongest way possible.” – Amanda Gunther

“Tom Carman flutters convincingly onto the Artisphere stage as Crow…a weirdly watchable performance by a magnetic young actor.” -Peter Marks

“Director Kathleen Akerley has done a remarkable job molding her actors’ tongues and personas to fit Shepard’s challenging language… the exchanges are fascinating, hinting at a savage world where language has evolved into a sort of weapon in and of itself.” -Ben Demers

“The ensemble is strong. Each member of the cast does a fine job of articulating meaning in Shepard’s tricky text.” -Rachael Murray

“Without doubt a play that could produce nothing but unintended comedy in the wrong hands, director Kathleen Akerley dispels any silliness by mining the darkness here – both from her actors and with Jessica Moretti’s cleverly desolate sets.” -Kate WIngfield
