Reviews

'a funny, mournful, richly detailed and deeply humane study of a beleaguered family celebrating Thanksgiving dinner in a tumbledown Chinatown apartment... Karam is a profoundly compassionate writer. He shows us the bravery and tenderness of people trying – and sometimes failing – to get on with their lives.'
*Guardian*

'A haunting, beautifully realized play, quite possibly the finest we will see all season... Blisteringly funny and altogether wonderful.'
*New York Times*

'[a] beautiful, funny-sad and ultimately wrenching portrait of a troubled lower-middle-class Pennsylvania family... builds on the ample promise of Karam's earlier works, confirming him as a uniquely probing investigator of the contemporary American psyche'
*Hollywood Reporter*

'blisteringly funny, bruisingly sad and altogether wonderful... Written with a fresh-feeling blend of documentarylike naturalism and theatrical daring... Mr. Karam's comedy-drama depicts the way we live now with a precision and compassion unmatched by any play I've seen in recent years.'
*New York Times*

'A kind, warm, beautifully observed and deeply moving new play, a celebration of working-class familial imperfection and affection and a game-changing work for this gifted young playwright.'
*Chicago Tribune*

'Karam is in rare form here, showing a remarkable ear for the way families converse… For all the characters’ woes, this is a warm, funny, sharply observed portrait of their abiding connections with one another.'
*Time Out Chicago*
