Mother Teresa Is Dead
Pittsburgh City Paper - Pittsburgh: "What makes a play 'great'? A few years ago I saw The Fever, by Wallace Shawn, about a wealthy woman who travels to a Third World country, has a nervous breakdown, and, in a long monologue, tells us she finally came to understand that the happiness of the Western world is explicitly tied to the misery in developing nations."

I saw Mother Teresa is Dead during previews, and I would completely agree with this review. The play was fun to watch, but there did seem to be a disconnect between it, the actors and the theme of world problems and poverty. Something didn't work.
