Description ▲
"...a hypodermic needle plunged directly into the playgoer's emotional bloodstream. It hypnotizes the eye and bruises the ear. It shreds the nerves; it vivisects the psyche ~ and it may scare the living daylights out of more than a few playgoers." ~ Time Magazine
"...one of the most spectacular stage events of recent times...a daring invasion of hitherto forbidden dramatic territory." ~ Robert Brustein, The New Republic
"One of the most sensational theater works of our time...impossible to forget...begets controversy on every level, from casual entertainment seekers to the most learned professors..." ~ Life Magazine
