"With a great sense of time and place, Ms. Goldstein has written a highly compelling and very entertaining, well-plotted play that examines the complicated relationships of these couples with believability, drama, and humor,''
"From its complexly comical opening scene to its wistful conclusion, Daughters of The Sexual Revolution is a joyous, insightful and involving work that is perfectly rendered."
