"...a triumph of staging and performance...In Bedlam's trademark style, the production at Central Square Theater is pared to its essence. But nothing is held back in the performances by [the cast]."

 – Don Aucoin, The Boston Globe

​

"As the intellectually acute but emotionally frayed Louis, Zach Fike Hodges does a terrific job, making him at once vulnerable, loving and appealing, and at the same time, pathetic. His eloquence in a diversionary over-the-top speech about democracy late in the show – in a sizable Kushner word-salad – is noteworthy."

 – BADMan (aka Charles Munitz), Boston Arts Diary

​

"Hodges portrays Louis with sympathy; we can see he is truly frightened and overwhelmed despite his self-hatred."

 – Michele Markarian, Theater Mirror

​

"Zach Fike Hodges plays Louis with every ounce of neurotic ambivalence the role calls for and we can’t help but forgive him for his shortcomings."

 – Lynne Weiss, Stage and Cinema

​

"Zach Fike Hodges finds all of Louis’ Jewish guilt and self- doubts."

 – Jules Becker, Bay Windows

​

"Cohn isn't the only unlikeable character. Louis Ironson, Prior's boyfriend who leaves him in his time of need - convincingly portrayed by Zach Fike Hodges - is decidedly unsympathetic. That there were and are people like Louis, whose selfishness and self-pity allow them to eschew decency and humanity in favor of self-preservation, makes his actions no easier to condone."

 – R. Scott Reedy, Broadway World

​

"Most importantly, the whole ensemble works together seamlessly to give Kushner's words their due."

 – Josh Gartka, Talkin Broadway
