"How exactly do we become the people we are? That knotty question hovered in the air at the Humana Festival of New American Plays...The most intriguing works in the festival, now under the direction of Les Waters, take the audience on engrossing journeys through the thick underbrush of the human psyche as it is shaped by family, society and the divided impulses of the self." - New York Times
