"In Canadian Stage’s powerful and exquisitely discomfiting production, Laffrenier showcases Harris’ opening act in all its intentionally dislocating glory, letting audiences simmer in its audacity as we watch each couple play with these dynamics, racial epithets dripping from their panting mouths with varying degrees of ease." (Ilana Lucas, Intermission Magazine)
"Daniel Bennett’s soft, shadowy lighting, Thomas Ryder Payne’s electropop-esque sound design, and Rachel Forbes’ period-inaccurate costuming support this humour in Act One; between the deconstructed Rihanna song, the dominatrix outfit under a hoop skirt, and Calvin Klein underwear under Civil War-era clothing, you cannot not laugh." (Divine Angubua, Intermission Magazine)
