Director Jessica Holt stages the action so that every nuance that passes between Sarah Nina Hayon’s composed, managerial Vicky and Lisa Anne Porter’s impulsive, over-thinking and disorganized Erica is as up-close-and-personal as possible. -- Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle
Holt’s direction — unsentimental, gracefully and creatively blocked on the small stage, crisply paced, sensitive to nuances of emotion and to the script’s abrupt changes of mood (which the actors finesse seamlessly) — is superb.
-- Jean Schiffman, San Francisco Examiner
