The critical acclaim for these plays has hailed them as "fascinating, unforgettable, funny, wild, compassionate, unique, strange, outrageous, mythic, enlivened by an almost hysterical inventiveness; a different kind of theater, one that leaves much to interpretation and imagination, intelligent and witty and frequently moving."
