'Don’t Ask' is that rare exception...

Recommended "Several hot topics in one." -- The New York Daily News

Recommended "Among the favorites [in the Fringe]..."-- Variety

"A fascinating play...totally absorbing, riveting, thought-provoking, forceful, and sexual. Mark Robinson has directed this piece with all the skill of a chess game and the end result will have you thinking about it for a long time to come...a lesson in what theater should and can be and, ultimately, must be...will absolutely take your breath away...this play deserves a life after the Fringe." -- WBAI Radio

"...Moves toward the heart of darkness of American military conquest today. This ambitious play considers dynamics of power and its abuse in the dual contexts of war and sexual desire, set within a highly topical context. " -- NY Theatre.com
