And Critic's Reactions
“Engaging Shaw is a charming romantic comedy featuring four razor-sharp tongues. If there’s a minute of the play that’s less than clever, you’ll be hard pressed to find it.”  
—Ken Jaworowski, THE NEW YORK TIMES

“The play is written like one of [Shaw’s], with talk zipping in thrilling, dizzying circles. Thought-
       provoking fun.”
