"Anna Podolak, playing the brain-injured Beth, has the most difficult role in the play, since the character has to start with screams, stutters, and baby talk and then become an articulate seductress over the course of two hours."
                William Cordeiro, offoffonline.com

"Anna Podolak as Beth and Curtis Nielsen as Jake, married perhaps too young and too early in their maturation as individuals, are remarkable to watch as their characters find that they must divorce themselves from the insidious, possessive and infantilizing dynamics of simplistic American attitudes to sexual relationships within the family for any future growth or health; Ms. Podolak finds a new strength of character as she recovers from her injuries and her tenderness is infused with imagination and passion"
