"...I live in the Edgewater neighborhood and could walk over to this little storefront theater and see this extraordinary work and it's that phenomenon in Chicago that around every corner... there is something astonishing and this is astonishing...get a ticket before it disappears." - Kelly Kleiman, Dueling Critics, WDCB 90.9 FM

"I was just riveted, held in my seat for all 90 minutes...I can only urge the listeners to make the journey..and see this extraordinary production" - Jonathan Abarbanel, Dueling Critics

"Under Robin Witt’s tight direction, Faust and Balogun’s connection is luminous, with both actors crafting subtle, multi-layered performances." - Devony Hof, Third Coast Review
