"...The production's not perfect by any means: its structure is hard to follow and, once one does figure it out, often unrewarding. Also, the heavy Italian accents among the ensemble and the script's poor translation into English makes for frequent confusion. The show would probably be stronger and more compelling if it were performed in the original Italian, with a synopsis in the program for those of us who are unfortunately monolingual. But the edginess of the stagecraft can't be under-expressed; it has the creative and innovative feel of a truly fresh fringe work."
