Published Reviews

"Playwright Andy Bragen delivers a dexterous and controlled piece of writing . . . There is a kind of sumptuousness to the banal details this play rolls carefully back and forth over. You are charmed by the rhythm of a tennis fanatic's routine and by the mania of their obsession. You become enthralled by the peculiar way a tennis match unfolds, the trajectory of a season, the mind games, the inner monologues."

Theatre is Easy

"The fast-paced comedy makes a good case for tennis as an outlet for male aggression . . . [Bragen] is very good at evoking the world of the East River tennis courts and the people who inhabit them."

Theatremania

"It is a very entertaining yet thought-provoking piece about a tennis rivalry and how seriously players approach the game. Sports buffs and many, many more will enjoy this show."
