"Enthralling, strange, mordant, witty, jolting, mysterious." --The Daily Beast "Despite the peachy terra-cotta-and-breeze-block patio that keeps Infinite Life's characters fenced in . Baker's play feels capacious--ever widening its arms to hold more humanity, more searching spirit and more troubled flesh." --Vulture "[Infinite Life] peeps at the greatest mysteries of life--in this case principally pain and desire, and what they have in common--through the tiny, seemingly inconsequential windows of banal human behavior." --New York Times "[Baker] communicates the incommunicable not by making us feel physical anguish, obviously, but by loaning us the eerie suspension her characters experience as extreme hunger detaches them from their bodies. The Baker affect lets us drift with them, temporally; we sense time slipping away in unpredictable chunks. She makes us feel their tense stoicism, which is just one sensation removed from feeling their agony." --The New Yorker " A lucid fever dream, a trippy vision of profound truth, an exploration of how desire and pain influence and are influenced by the feeble bags of meat our consciousness are bound to.


It is another extraordinary play from a writer seemingly capable of nothing else." --Time Out London.
