"...Director David Melville has crafted, in this remarkably intimate venue, a production that never lags, even during White's rare tangential sidetracks. Likewise, Melville's sound design, punctuated throughout with period-perfect musical selections, fills the space more than adequately. Adding gild to the lily are Bosco Flannagan's lighting and Ruoxuan Li's costumes that, spanning the Edwardian and World War I periods, are noteworthy aspects of the show's overall first-rate production values."

"...David Melville's direction gleans some good work from his ensemble, but he's constrained by the middling quality of White's play. One moment seems particularly ludicrous. A family argument reduces one member to falling upon his knees and holding his head and crying out as if he's losing his mind, with his cries amplified by the sound of hundreds of snow geese flying overhead. The scene is so over-the-top that it almost plays as comedy. The playwright's dialogue is largely overwrought and the play wants an emotional response from the audience it doesn't earn."
