Gina Gionfriddo's comedy of bad manners, a tangled tale of love, sex and ethics among a quartet of men and women in their thirties, is as engrossing as it is ferociously funny, like a big box of fireworks fizzing and crackling across the stage from its first moments to its last.deftly plotted, scabrous and sharp-witted.One of the great pleasures of BECKY SHAW is the way the moral ground keeps shifting underneath your feet. -NY Times. "The characters in Gionfriddo's blind-date-gone-bad black comedy share the potential to revolt . They're also subversively funny - and improbably charming. Grade: A." -Entertainment Weekly.


".scathing, class-conscious comedy.BECKY SHAW exerts a hypnotic pull, thanks in large part to the wonderfully witty dialogue and complex characterizations." -NY Post. "Blithely cynical and devastatingly funny.witty observations on the emotional damage inflicted by neurotic people in the name of love.Gionfriddo is some kind of genius." -Variety.


"The perfect nourishment for theatergoers starved for a dramatic conflagration or two.Gionfriddo's creations talk with rat-tat-tat ferocity.the laughs flow freely." -Associated Press.
