"Sublime. Joe Calarco has again created a meticulous, extremely well-acted production."
-The Washington Post

"Four stars. Funny. Haunting. Insightful."
-Metro Weekly

"Director Joe Calarco delivers his finest staging to date. This quartet of actors will leave you in total awe. The production, cast, and script make the experience totally satisfying, which is a true rarity these days."
-Broadwayworld

"Transcendent. A brilliant area premiere under the sensitive direction of Joe Calarco. Rather than belonging, you sit there for what seems like a precious eternity watching the loneliness puddle around you like a pleated skirt, the prolonged silences stretching before you with no actor or playwright prompted to fill them or distract you from that emptiness of sound and motion.  We bear the characters’ isolation and our own—like mirror images this aloneness reflects back and forth between actors and audience. The mystical miracle of John is that we can sit with that profound loneliness and be okay. Better, even."
-DC Theatrescene
