"A terrifically engaging Broadway drama! 'I’m not interested in accuracy,” [a character] crows, 'I’m interested in truth.' ...Never more than now, with accusations of fake news flying, have these questions bedeviled writers —Mistakes and lies and opinions are interchangeable with facts in the Twitterverse, creating a nimbus of doubt around everything. There used to be a genre of Broadway comedies meant to be topical... and were welcome as such. So is this one.”.
“…buoyantly literate…wholly resonant questions [are] wrestled with in this briskly entertaining play…you’ll find yourself happy to have your preconceptions disturbed and assumptions unsettled.”
"[A] crackerjack new Broadway play! The laughs [were] explosive... the spry humor, rippling tension and provocative reflections of this ingenious adaptation... have the vigorous back-and-forth zing of a sweaty squash match, not to mention a stinging relevance to so much of what’s been happening for years now in American social, cultural and political discourse. It’s hard to imagine this pithy play ever being more timely."
“…terrifically funny dialogue…once the writer and the fact-checker get into a lively debate on the ethics of factual truth vs. the beauty of literary dishonesty, it’s time to really sit up and listen…Their deadly serious but oh-so-funny ethical dispute is brilliantly argued…the debate at the heart of this play transcends comedy and demands serious attention.”
