Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "Language may well be, as Noam Chomsky suggested, a window on the mind.
But the view is often blurry and obscured.
In Madeleine George's play 'Precious Little,' which opened Friday evening at City Theatre, people employ a whole lot of talk, language and jargon while failing to communicate. Words also come up short when they visit a zoo to connect with a Great Ape who has been trained to recognize and respond to a limited number of words.

Another CMU Faculty seems to have put another wonderful design into Pittsburgh's local scene. That aside, this seems like a really interesting piece since it is so open ended. With connections back to the past and possibilities (genetic manipulation) it seems like a piece that could have a potential impact at any point, and so the why this play now means it can always be relevant.
