"A powerful drama...skillfully wrought...one of the most evenhanded, penetrating studies that we have yet seen."--Edwin Wilson, The Wall Street Journal

"A relentless investigation into the complex, sometimes cryptic pathology of hate...A mature and accomplished work--from its inspired opening up of conventional theatrical form to its skillful portraiture of a dozen characters to its remarkable breadth of social and historical vision...Mr. Fuller's play tirelessly insists on embracing volatile contradictions because that is the way to arrive at the shattering truth."--Frank Rich, The New York Times

"A complex and rewarding play [by] a playwright of great sensibility."--Clive Barnes, New York Post

"A work of great resonance and integrity..."--Jack Kroll, Newsweek
