"Theatre stripped to its essence...a challenging piece of work...factually fascinating and a skillful piece of writing...driven by a powerful and frightening logic."
-Jill Lawless, Now Magazine
"One of the greatest examples of artistic moral courage I've ever witnessed...leads its audience onto very slippery moral ground and leaves the viewer to grope for his or her own answers...Writing and staging Masada was an act of moral courage."
-Brian Gorman, Ottawa Sun
