REVIEWS:

"Intriguing... Though it feels like the Marx Brothers had a hand in it, Heart's Desire really owes more to the bleak landscape of Beckett."

 NY Daily News

"Fresh and surprising... The funniest show in town."

 NY Post

"Achingly, aggressively funny... plants seeds that keep germinating in your mind long after the plays are over."

 The New York Times
