IN THE PRESS
Houston Chronicle Review: "...you will marvel at the precision of the timing of lines and the extreme care in every move the actors make. There’s a chemistry in this ensemble production that is hard to match: sometimes an expression on an actor’s face really is worth a thousand words, and some of the most priceless moments are the bewildering non-spoken responses the characters have to each other, or their own issues."
Houston Press Review: "Cunningly directed by 4th Wall artistic director Jennifer Dean, and lovingly placed inside Kirk A. Domer’s inside/outside set, lit with craft by Christina Giannelli, and aptly costumed by Leah Smith, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike is another in this company’s crown jewels. Durang’s uplifting and very funny comedy sparkles in the hands of this incandescent company. If you want a holiday present that will not disappoint – or be returned or re-gifted – fly to 4th Wall and unwrap this tiara. Wear it with pride."
Broadway World Review: "This play is just a ton of fun, and this production comes at a time when we all could honestly use a good laugh. It’s a great way to say goodbye to 2024 and a joy to revisit this brilliant gem that Durang gifted the world in 2013."

AUDIENCE RESPONSE
This play is an absolute delight: it is humorous and entertaining and anything but gratuitous or superficial. The production is perfectly cast, and the acting is flawless by every actor on stage. I can’t remember the last time I left a theater feeling this good.
