"Psychological aftermath of war is explored in BOOGIEBAN at 13th Street Repertory Theatre."

"Heartfelt, but somewhat too contrived…Fidler's language veers from the realistic to the self-consciously poetic…with touches of verbal staginess. Both actors…do insightful work…Long stretches that drag interminably…Plays like 'Boogieban' continue to be necessary reminders of the costs of war."
