Chicago Tribune: "For starters, I reviewed the then-unknown Ruhl's 'Orlando' at Evanston's Piven Theatre in 1998 and completely failed to appreciate that I was watching the early work of a woman who would soon be not only a certified MacArthur Foundation genius, but inarguably one of the leading contemporary American playwrights."
Maybe I have a special place in my heart for Sarah Ruhl, but I appreciate the critic's comments on her work. Also, I enjoy seeing that he is able to see what he has reviewed and examine them as his successes and failures.
