This is an extraordinary personal document, one which scene-by-scene, vignette-by-vignette, can be completely gripping and affecting. Rudman's superb skills as a playwright are in evidence here--an ability to structure a dramatic scene, a marvelous ear for dialogue, the fascinating device of giving voice, body and even personality to a feeling, a part of the body, or an inner self (in this instance, the malevolent "pain")."
--Henry Dunow
