Joe Harmston's terrific revival is alternately precise and anguished. Phillips's clever folding of past and present... unfolds the action like a mystery to be solved.'

Phillips’s detailed and at times laborious drama doesn’t come to any startling new conclusions...but instead rather hedges its bets as it wends its meticulous way through elegant, occasionally overwritten scenes.'

The play is, quite unashamedly, a homage to Arthur Miller... It’s impeccably acted... At over two and a half hours it’s overlong, but it’s an intimate, emotionally charged revival nonetheless.'
