"This smart production conveys both the astonishing beauty of Beckett's prose and the proper amount of empathy for all the suffering caused by living in a maddeningly nonsensical world that provides no answers to any of our most important questions. It's almost as if they mean to say that life is worth living anyway. To do all that with Beckett is quite an amazing feat."

"Drawing upon Bertolt Brecht's edict that the artist's job is to either make the familiar strange or the strange familiar, Melrose's masterful mise-en-scène succeeds in its aim to accomplish the latter of these twin propositions."
