"Playwright J.Stephen Brantley plays Jack, the experienced NGO-worker who spends a lot of his time futilely relaying the same pipes for water. As an actor, Brantley is an expert at playing roles that call for a butch yet sensitive masculinity; his Jack is perhaps the strongest performance in the show." -Dan Dinero, Theatre Is Easy

"...Some of the best transformations come from Brantley, who is supremely entertaining as a diva actor/drag queen, the not-too-bright half of a pair who likes to search for sex with other men together, and a lover scorned." - Cape Cod Times
