Nominated for Tony Award, Best Play "Illuminating, enlivening, a sheer joy." James Christopher, Time Out "Sharp characterization and magical theatricality." John Peter, The London Times "Containing statements like 'American actors for America!' and the ugly sounds of a nationalist riot, the play holds a disturbing mirror up to a world where fundamentalist bigotry is on the increase. It is Nelson's achievement to have done this through a drama that is also quite exhilarating." Paul Taylor, The Independent "This is a must for theatre lovers; or as the actor sitting next to me put it, 'Now I know why theatre has me by the throat.' Precisely!" Liz Gilbey, What's On "Mr Nelson's work is partly about the glorious chaos of play-making but also chases much bigger themes. On one level, his play is about theatre as a metaphor for post-colonial arrogance. On another level, it is about the power and mystery of acting itself.

" Michael Billington, The Guardian.
