"The most richly enjoyable new play for grown-ups that New York has
known in many seasons. . . . In his most fully realized play to
date, Mr. Baitz makes sure our sympathies keep shifting among the
members of the wounded family portrayed here. Every one of them
emerges as selfish, loving, cruel, compassionate, irritating,
charming and just possibly heroic. . . . leaves you feeling both
moved and gratifyingly sated." --Ben Brantley, "The New York
Times"
"Other Desert Cities is a winner . . . funny and fierce,
invigorating and intelligent." --Joe Dziemianowicz, "Daily
News"
"Baitz's script sparkles with a deep understanding oif the turmoil
boiling beneath the surface of his characters and it is chock-full
of wonderful lines." --Mark Kennedy, "Associated Press"
"This scathingly funny, deeply felt family drama is the tastiest,
most entertaining new play of the season . . . with a wisdom and
compassion--and sureness of touch--that make this his most mature,
moving, and flat-out enjoyable work to date."--Adam Green,
"Vogue"
"A master of crackling dialogue . . . Baitz manages to engage
matters of public and private morality--and public and private
ideology--with and energy, and a minimum of
self-flagellation."--Scott Brown, New York magazine
"Baitz's latest familial drama manages to be funny, cutting and
illuminating. Secrets, lies and betrayals play out against a
backdrop of Californian affluence and restraint. This is rich
dysfunction--zingers are delivered with a whiskey chaser." --Fern
Siegel, "The Huffington Post"
