Published Reviews

"...few playwrights could dream up a heretical, post-modern stew of a show like this one. Nguyen and Parker have the fearless, take-no-prisoners bravura of early Monty Python."

Martin Denton, nytheatre.com

"...brings manga to Milton, anime to Aquinas...an intelligently reasoned invective against faith."

Helen Shaw, New York Sun

"...gloriously irreverent."

Andy Probst, American Theater Web
