"Letts and Walker have superb onstage chemistry as father and son. One of their last scenes is especially effective and riveting...O’Brien keeps things straightforward here, with a simple black and white video projection of war planes preceding the first act. O’Brien keeps the focus on the story. Although not all cast members are up to the par of the task at hand, O’Brien gets superlative performances from the actors playing the lead roles."

Together with veteran stage director Jack O’Brien, they’ve produced one of the very best revivals of the season...Miller has crafted a drama that masterfully builds with increasing moral fervency to a shattering climax...The stunning cast is on the same page, their performances at once expanding and focusing as the play unfolds. All in all, I would encourage you not to miss this altogether searing revival."

Neither she nor Tracy Letts—also a terrific actor—ever convinced me they were a married couple."
