“Flynn uses these opening subtle scenes of tension to display the faults of both couples, playing with the stage’s small space to create a palpable unease.”

“In Flynn’s production, this repetition is met with varied lengths of pauses, differing delivery and shifting pacing. The shifting representations of repeated themes means the conversation’s insularity nearly escapes detection. The circular conversations in the play add to the sense of chaos, leaving the audience entangled in the obsessive speech patterns of the characters.”

“Flynn’s directorial choices ensured that the play maintained its hilarity while also making broader, more subtle commentary about the nature of class, conflict and masculinity.” -The Whitman Wire
