"Brainy and witty and clever and cute." - Variety "[Durang] suggests that there comes a time when adolescent notions of grown-up despair need to be put aside. You might say that Vanya et alia tempers both Chekhovian ennui and Durangian angst with the calming spirit of acceptance that antidepressants are supposed to instill." - The New York Times "Both breathtakingly funny and quietly poignant, this Chekhov-inspired work - for which knowledge of the Russian master's plays is not a requirement - is pure joy from start to finish." - Backstage.
