| "Sheila Callaghan's New Shoes by far tops the bill... Callaghan's play tells the potent tale of Richard, whose average life becomes infected with memories of a Vietnamese love affair... Throughout all this, a fantasy collage, merging disparate elements of his reality, unveils his secret yearnings." |
