"...I tell you what. Here's what really happened: Having come to Silver Lake, at the expense of sleep, gas, time, and peace of mind, I elected to be moved and disturbed, provoked even, made more malleable and less asleep, by a vivid piece of art that costs what you want it to cost. (The Coeurage pay-what-you-want policy reflects the potentially unsustainable but edge-of-your-seat state of Los Angeles small theater, such a fascinating experiment I just can't look away.) I, curmudgeon, left my place of business and instead of going home stayed out among my fellows for communion, which I got. Before, after, and during the show I exchanged ideas and love and respect with stimulating people who actively seek a more meaningful existence."

"...Ridley's script and Eisenberg's staging conspire to grab their unsuspecting audience members and toss them mercilessly around in what feels like a literary salad spinner, utilizing the author's jarring series of incredibly poetic yet darkly twisted monologues, which use highly disturbing and even pornographic images to skewer our society in all its political and religious hypocrisy, and the director's ability to create a lot of physical cornering and circling. What is eventually revealed is a not-too distant future apocalyptic ruin in which consumerism and greed have all but destroyed our psychologically shredded species. How traumatizing that must have been back in 1991, when this play was first performed. Now it unfolds as a rather disturbing, all-too accurate Fritz Lang–esque prophecy chronicling the scary things that were to come."
