"A tale of a picaresque journey that evolves into a spiritual quest, it is,
as a script, a writerly muscle-flexer. A wonderful metaphor for life’s elusive
but inextinguishable meaning."
Bruce Weber, The New York Times
"…the theatrical discovery of the summer…"
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Literate and enchanting. What begins as Pythonesque highbrow silliness turns
into an existential detective story. Storytelling of the highest caliber."
David Cote, Time Out New York
"It is a remarkable achievement for such a restricted and limited form as the
one-person play to embrace such a breadth of places, themes and ideas….
Humorous, mysterious and never dull, this is a journey of the soul with the
power to transform."
Clem Gorman, Launceston Examiner, (Tasmania)
"The magic of the play is in making an existential nightmare of non-existence
into a parable of hope: is human fellowship proof of the existence of god; or is
it, itself, the actuality of god? There are no answers, but there is wisdom,
ineffable sadness, and enormous grace in the concept and writing of the play."
Sunday Independent, London
"A highlight of this year’s Fringe—provocative, mournful and extremely funny,
it really is unmissable."
Irish Times
the first official production of the female version was at the Lederman Theater (Stockholm)
