Please note: This "Behind the Scenes" promotional video was recorded during rehearsals prior to the completion of scenic and lighting elements.

"Unlike many plays that take awhile to develop, the Vermont Stage production presented Wednesday became fascinating almost immediately, thanks primarily to the work of the two performers and their director, Cristina Alicea, the artistic director of Vermont Stage."
- The Burlington Free Press

"The comic aspects emerge, but the subject matter has inspired director Cristina Alicea to take a quiet, respectful approach, the better to showcase the skills of the two actors. Alicea delicately persuades us that what we might dismiss as neurotic excess is actually far subtler. The gradual transition to the very first traces of pain or power is emphasized in this production... Thomas and Vanda dissect the nature of seduction, but in the end it is the viewer who is seduced."  - Seven Days

"The Vermont Stage production, directed by Artistic Director Cristina Alicea, was taut, tense, unexpected and deliciously funny."
