"The show belongs to Mr. Rees and Ms. Ivey, though; if you saw her in The Last Night of Ballyhoo, for example, or him in Indiscretions, say, then you know what brilliant comic actors they are. Here I believe they surpass themselves: watch Ms. Ivey attempt to be coy and helpless as she awaits Mr. Rees's proposal of marriage, or listen to Mr. Rees as he, arguing his own case in divorce court, cross-examines Ms. Ivey. These two formidable talents compliment one another spectacularly; there may not be a better pair of performances anywhere in New York." (New York Theatre Experience)

As her sparring partner Alceste, Roger Rees has a coiled ferocity and a spitting intensity; he's all tense, acute angles to Uma's curves. Rees' very brilliance, though, becomes mannered and predictable. His is a performance that needs variety. (New York Post, Donal Lyons)
