REVIEWS
"A satire about survival in the Soviet bureaucratic Eden. Now that Eden is breaking into a million pieces, the play again has a certain relevance" ~ N.Y. Post
"An astute observation of human ingenuity in conflict with clumsily determined bureaucracy, Zoya's Apartment runs a course from broad farce to lethal melodrama" ~ Christian Science Monitor
