“And top honors among the playwrights must go to Stefanie Zadravec,
who contributes both the opening and closing numbers. The first, Leaving,
about the disintegration of a Connecticut couple when they hear about a disaster
from a TV newscast, is a sharp living room social critique...”

“New Yorkers will find particular resonance in such segments as [Zadravec’s]
Leaving...”
— New York Post
“Equally Compelling...is Stefanie Zadravec’s Haunted, where
a couple’s romantic getaway turns creepy in the middle of a storm.
Zadravec manages to indict the sort of man-to-woman violence that might be
found in a Lifetime movie, while also giving the short piece a grand
‘Twilight Zone’ feel. Van Cleve and Zadravec play the piece so
that each of Zadravec’s twists surprise grandly.”
— American Theatre Web
“The pieces’ brevity can limit their depth, but the playwrights
generally manage to ring some changes, as with Haunted, in which Zadravec
plays on the eerie similarities between the teen slasher-flick setup and
romantic rural getaways.”
— Time Out New York
"Stefanie Zadravec’s Haunted has “a wry edge and is well
played...”
— Backstage
“What’s lovely about this piece [ Haunted] is how the mania
subsides into a meditation on trust and ambiguity, a celebration of human
connection as an antidote to irrational paranoia. It seems like the perfectly
placed coda to the entire evening.”
