“Artistic Director M. Bevin O’Gara deftly helms the Kitchen’s profound production centered on a blazing performance by Aila Peck as Catherine. As is O’Gara’s wont, the production reaches for the rhythms of its emotional arc. Silences stretch, conflicts erupt, and her actors always re-gather themselves. Actors must love working with her.” - Ross Haarstad, Ithaca Times
