"...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
