Press Quotes
“Anxiety courses quietly throughout WEAPON OF MASS IMPACT, but not so quietly that it won’t haunt you indefinitely.” —Time Out Chicago
“… [a] thoroughly compelling new play … You come to see that we’re probing the definition of terrorism here. You get the sense that [Neveu] is observing that the traumas of our individual lives can impart just as much individual misery as those mysteriously absent weapons of mass destruction that preoccupy governments of all shades … for those of us who’ve deeply admired his writing from the start, it’s a very powerful reminder …” —Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
