“The kind of effort that makes theater in this city so impressive….The fact that the production - ingeniously co-directed by Jason Kae and Genevieve Thompson - has turned out to be a monumental artistic success, as well as a triumph of logistics and stamina, is, of course, even more of a reason to celebrate.” 
–Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times

“Infamous Commonwealth Theatre opened its first season only three years ago in the summer of 2002. But you would never guess its youth by the quality, clarity and evocative impact it delivers with this stunning production.” 
–Venus Harris, Gay Chicago
