Burnett injects his script with cosmic scope... Imaginative, forceful theater... Charming and breathtaking all at once... In the spirit of Wilder and with a dramatic vigor all its own, the play turns large-hearted living into art." --Variety "Undaunted, [it] evokes...tender, unforced humanity... Rich in dry humor, and in Wilder's...philosophy that the cosmic permeates the quotidian... Gently funny, spryly wise..." --Time Out New York "Charming... Captures Wilder's spirit of genial humor and tempered optimism... Ignites sparks of surprisingly deep emotion." --New York Daily News "Excavates the Wilder play buried in the novel... This Theophilus North is unmistakably a cousin of Our Town... There are muscles rippling under the play's rose-scented skin." --New York Sun "Five stars... Purely sparkles with intelligence, wit and humanity... This is a play both for the head and the heart." --TalkinBroadway.com "Beautiful and intelligent... A mixture of Wilderesque sobriety and esprit. The late author would undoubtedly have tipped his boater..." --TheaterMania.com
