"...Gurney has been a popular playwright for over thirty years. Some of his popular and memorable plays include The Dining Room, The Cocktail Hour, Love Letters and Sylvia. And then there is Sweet Sue, a play that offers a different perspective in the creation of only two characters, because in this instance, the two characters are played by four people."

"...The quality of the acting is good. The women are pert and spunky, the men are big and obliging. Susan takes pills while Susan Too drinks wine. She's constantly looking for her kids' approval. Jake is waffling between romance with Susan and love with an unseen woman his own age. Dichotomy abounds. Susan Too imagines a romantic dinner with Jake while in actuality, Susan loses him at the front door. Through all this romantic fencing, we see the difference between love and infatuation. Gurney's use of off-stage characters, the aforementioned son Ted and his girlfriend Elaine, adds insight into both Susan's and Jake's personalities."

"... A very sweet story, with relatable "food for thought," "Sweet Sue" shows how each of them become more enriched individuals as a result of this fleeting summer fling. (There is brief but tastefully presented male nudity…) Kudos all around for exceptional performances by this entire quartet of actors in decidedly tricky roles! Setting the tone perfectly are a gorgeous set by Trefoni Michael Rizzi, lighting by Rachel Jaime Miller, costumes by Diana Martin, and sound by Alma Reyes-Thomas. Do catch this one… it's fun!"
