Charles Isherwood, VARIETY
"Deeply satisfying production."
Peter Marks, THE WASHINGTON POST

Michael Phillips, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"This latest 'Journey' is both more operatic and more poetic in capturing the fullness of a tragedy that encapsulates O'Neill's autobiographical story as well as the death of faith and family as transformative forces in America."
Ed Siegel, BOSTON GLOBE
"Redgrave...grabs the attention with a boldly conceived performance which serves notice from its opening moments that theatrical history is being made."
Richard Ouzounian, TORONTO STAR
