“It is a meditation on Chicago’s old soul . . . a witty, seductive,
live-wire and greatly entertaining dark comedy that you just don’t
want to end.” – Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
“The sting, the speed and marksmanship of the gimcracks his
characters fire at each other . . . drips the kind of soulful,
energized sarcasm that has long characterized [Letts’] work as an
actor and playwright.”– Time Out Chicago
“A wonderfully affecting and amusing work that reveals a playwright
fully in command of his powers.” – Frank Scheck, Hollywood
Reporter
“Superior Donuts is very funny and also gut-punching sad, but
ultimately it’s a redemptive tale about community and the need to
let go of the past, however painful… Letts is an author whose
muscular dialogue and skewed view of humanity make him one of our
most valuable playwrights.” – David Cote, TimeOut New York for
NY1
