“WHEN THE MESSENGER IS HOT is very, very hot. MESSENGER is pure magic…. Eason's
richly inspired, cleverly envisioned adaptation… This 85-minute piece careens
brilliantly between comedy and heartbreak… The impact of this play is as intense
as it is wholly enchanting. It is a fairy tale for our time.”
Chicago Sun-Times
“Laura
Eason's slick, shrewd and savvy theatrical adaptation is fresh, smart and, yes,
populist material that will draw you in quite tightly. Steppenwolf scheduled
this show for New York even before its Chicago premiere. You can see why.”
