"Sister Mary Ignatius, a teaching nun who is much concerned with sin in all of its various forms, delivers a cautionary lecture to her charges. One of them, a precocious little boy named Thomas, can quote the Ten Commandments on cue, and each time he does so Sister Mary rewards him with a cookie. But when several of her former students turn up the picture darkens, along with Sister Mary's indignation..."

"A spiky satire... elicit[s] a lot of chortles from the audience, along with at least a couple of gasps.... smooth, often comical, if a little sterner than Sister Marys of the past... But Durang’s bite is still intact."

- Elizabeth Maupin, Orlando Sentinel

***

"...alot of fun! If you are Catholic, you have to go and see this show."

- Ryan Price, BloggingFringe.com

***

"Christopher Durang's production is so so wrong. And that's what's so right about it."

- Tanya Hanson, Orlando Metromix

***

“...a hysterically funny, bitter, anguished, out-of-control moral comedy that stands as a rebuke to all 'bad taste humor' which refuses to acknowledge the implications of its attacks. Durang reveals himself to be as angry as Lenny Bruce and nearly as incisive: he has, for the first time, dared to let the laughs drop for part of his play in order to make his audience squirm. It is one of those grand moments when an unbridled talent finally shows what he is capable of doing.”

- Terry Curtis Fox, The Village Voice
(on Ensemble Studio Theatre production)
