Published Reviews

"It's like Waiting for Godot. But for kids. With zombies."

Jaime Lutz, The Brooklyn Paper (New York)

"What has been written is a delicate, sly observation of what the zombies around us in our everyday life, and the zombies in ourselves, do to lessen the potential of the human existence and condition. Each scene and monologue explores this in a different way."

Jim Niesen, Artistic Director/Founder, Irondale Ensemble (NY)
