QUOTES

  • “You could see the tissues trapping fallen tears from across the audience.” (303 Magazine)
  • “Moritz’s stage direction effectively kept the action clear, as it moved from separate houses, to one house where the wives gathered, to scenes of Lt. Gonzalez facing his fears while traveling cross country.” (Peter Alexander, Sharps and Flatirons)
  • “Alison Moritz’ deft stage direction is handled with a sensitive, light touch.” (David Marlow, Marlow’s Musings)
  • “Heart-wrenching and soul-shredding, this is a contemporary American work that demands to be seen and heard.” (David Marlow, Marlow’s Musings)
