“The most ruthlessly experimental and uncompromising of today's young writers.” —John Lahr

That is, he always delivers, he executes feats of dexterity and technical difficulty that an untrained person could not, and makes them seem easy.” —Michael Feingold, The Village Voice
"One of the most original, prolific, and gifted dramatists at work today.” —The New Yorker
“Increasingly recognized as one of the more significant dramatists in the English-speaking world.” —Charles R. Bachman, Modern Drama
