"sublime production"
--WBRK

"truly funny and touching"
--Danbury News Times

"another winner for Barrington Stage"
--NewBerkshire.com

"Had anyone told me at the end of the century that downtown Pittsfield would host a production of Chekhov, I probably would have had trouble believing it. Kudos to Julie Boyd for taking the risk and succeeding at it."
--North Adams Transcript

"Everyone is so fully developed and finely sketched that Jack Gilpin's dessicated Vanya is only the first among equals."
--Boston Globe
