"Under John Tiffany’s direction Gregory Burke’s really a bit difficult and mysterious text becomes crystal clear and intellectually challenging, and the four actors create strong characters out of their roles, while their dazzling, but low-tuned and nuanced interaction enriches the text and brings forth its many layers. Gagarin Way was a strong, yes, even shockingly disturbing experience. But it was an experience I would not have been without."

"John Tiffany's tight production is as clever as the play, and it is acted with electrifying brilliance by a cast who know that this is the real thing and no fraud."
