"This play isn't about Jack and Veronyka: their love story is the bait--well, let's call it an invitation--for audiences to consider how it is that systems consistently fail decent people." --Karen Fricker, Toronto Star "[A] powerful political parable." --Glenn Sumi, NOW Magazine "A punch to the gut: very real and very much told with eyes wide open . . . It moved me and kept me thinking, long after curtain call." --Isabella O'Brien, Mooney on Theatre "The Jungle is a boldly political new play, argumentative and direct and a bit radical. It is also a touchingly honest drama, brimming with humor and pathos." --Louis Train, BroadwayWorld
