“August [has] crafted a modestly scaled meditation on the devastation of despair and the power of hope; one that suggests we may have lost our cold and dusty moon, but we’ve regained the ability to wish upon a star.”
“This play’s strengths lie in its intricate, poetic language. Missing Celia Rose is a masterpiece.”
“Mad hijinks and crazy situations ensue in Ian August’s absolutely hysterical and outrageously unique new comedy. ”
