"PTP's...season could have served as the hot, dense centerpiece of an Edinburgh-like pageant...(the company) needs to be congratulated for reaching beyond the mere mounting of a summer repertory to the creation of an evening which stands as an original dramatic event."

--S.H. Kupritz, Plays International
