“Incisive… this production is about complex emotions coursing under seemingly simple lives.”
Andy Webster, The New York Times (Critic's Pick)
“A steadily absorbing study of the shattered dreams of a foolish young man… Take Me Back is dismaying, yet thoroughly convincing. As an introduction to a talented new writer, it’s an invigorating sign of hope.”
David Barbour, Lighting & Sound America
“I loved Take Me Back… The writing is real, true, and robust.”
