"The actors wield feelings like potentially explosive weapons on the cozy domestic battlefield....With a chirpy voice, a chilly gaze, and a nervous flutter, Ellen Adair is a Nora poised but tired from lugging around her societal obligations and itching to live for herself."
-Liz Weisstuch, Boston Phoenix (Editor's Pick)

"The leads have that wonderful orchestration found in repertory players of longer standing...Ms. Adair is always fascinating to watch: whether Ms. Friedberg has guided her, step-by-step, or Ms. Adair has her own inner choreographer, her Nora flutters vocally and facially but her movements are firm as well as decorative --- the body is simply waiting for the mind to set it free. ...who would have thought that the season’s sexiest couple would be a chauvinist and his doll-wife in an old chestnut written by a gloomy Norwegian, and for only a few performances more?"
-Carl Rossi, Theatre Mirror.com
