Media
“Astonishing... a pitch black comedy about the current state of American politics.” – Chicago Sun-Times
“Certain to be the single work of art that best represents, but will also survive, the Trump era.” – Variety
“Explosive... Deftly captures the tension of patriotic grandiosity and provincial defensiveness found in city halls across the land.” – Chicago Tribune
“Astonishing... a pitch black comedy about the current state of American politics and the ‘fake news’ elements in our national history... a blood ritual rooted in the more farcical manifestations of local government and parliamentary procedure, and along the way he has explained how some in this country have been brutally sacrificed, and why such sacrifices continue to be sanctioned.” – Chicago Sun-Times
“The Minutes is also quite funny, silly even. (The council members re-enacting a famous Big Cherry battle is a hoot.) But the questions Letts poses – what are you willing to do, what are you willing to ignore, what are you willing to forget to preserve your ‘cocoon of comfort’? – are provocative. And perennial.” – Daily Herald
