"[This] slyly subversive drama ambushes its audience with an earnest and surprisingly moving Christian church service that might be the most unlikely provocation produced in years."
— New York Times

"The plays of Young Jean Lee are as personal and probing as they are utterly demented."
— The New Yorker

"I will happily worship in the house of Young Jean Lee."
