“… And funny enough that I nearly fell off my chair several times. In fact, Whitehead’s performance (and that of the other actors) was met with foot stamps, howls of delight, fist bumping, and repeated spontaneous applause from the audience at last night’s opening at Theatrelab. All of it well deserved.” — Charles Kruger, Stage and Cinema
