Media Reviews
"Samuel J. and K. scores big points as a different kind of play … we see the strained, uncomfortable relationship between the two brothers who carry sibling rivalry to excess … details of their individual lives are revealed only when they can be used as weapons to throw the other brother off his game." -Berkshire on Stage"The love siblings share … [is] the main issue in Smart's impressive new play … What comes between the brothers is an issue that has divided siblings for centuries. But the playwright manages to make the conflict seem as if it's happening for the first time." -The Star-Ledger
