The Dream of the Burning Boy

What the popular press said...

"An eloquent, affecting new play."
Charles Isherwood for NY Times

"Never gathers enough steam to generate appreciable dramatic force."
Erik Haagensen for Back Stage

"Sophomoric piece... The grownups are implausible, the kids too smart for words, and the plot is preposterous."
Marilyn Stasio for Variety
