The Fork
“The Fork” deftly shades boisterous humor with political alarm and awareness of mortality…Beneath the wild catharsis of the comedy, the play’s sneaky surprise is how it prods us to consider the common good, our duty to the people we love and the blighted choices we’re capable of making when we’re afraid.” – The New York Times
