“Intimate and Unexpected…Ensler is a poet, whose sense of the rhythm of language infuses her writing with a lyricism that makes it perfect for the stage…Ensler’s poetic realization of the importance of connection and community is powerful enough on its own, and her voice and investment in the body of the world are more than enough to bring the audience along on her journey.” – The Boston Globe
“Handsomely staged, sensitively directed, and by turns insightful, oblivious, empathetic, myopic, funny and deeply sad.” – WBUR

“Laugh-out-Loud” – Cape Cod Times
“Ensler is Ridiculously Captivating” – Jared Bowen
“A play for humanity” – The Bay State Banner
