"It reveals, in its most intimate moment, a gay son who has forged such an
incredible, loving relationship with his Jewish mother that he is lifted
spiritually.” – Provincetown Banner
“Powerfully personal; yet as universal as family values. A very fine dual
performance. Solomon generously creates mother and son from the outside
in.” — Chicago Tribune
“A brilliant piece of theater that is easily accessible; not only as a piece of
entertainment but as a commentary on love and acceptance.” — The Justice,
Brandeis University
“I’ve been raving about this show all week to anyone who would listen”
