"A cross between David Mamet and the Marx Brothers . Ullian's comedy flirts with all kinds of allegorical possibilities . a suitably flaky style, an oddball naturalism that plays against the absurdities in the dialogue .

bland spoofery, improbable dialogue laced with specific detail and monologues like verbal jazz riffs . Ullian has a distinctive voice." -Marianne Evett, The Cleveland Plain Dealer About the plays of Peter Ullian: "Singularly satisfying, winning, heart rending, punchy, button-pushing, irresistible. The sense of new blood entering the mainstream achieves the palpably energizing force of a transfusion." -New York Times "Quirky, crackling prose." -The Village Voice "Without apology. Taut, absorbing. Great style and crisp wit.

" -Variety "Courageous, intensely empathetic characters . very poignant . and truthful." -The Chicago Tribune.
