“POIGNANT… COMPELLING… Bird’s story of two generations of military experiences is so different and moving that it FAR SURPASSES MOST SUCH WORKS OF ITS GENRE.”
– Douglas Messerli, U.S. Theater, Opera and Performance

“OUTSTANDING… evokes tears and goosebumps… truly fascinating.”
– Ingrid Wilmot, Will Call for Theater
