“A political drama wrapped in the spooky pleasures of the horror genre, and it works on both levels.” – The New York Times
“I’m betting that you won’t be bored, not even for a split-second. Man Cave wraps potent social criticism inside a ghost story that will have you eager (and afraid) to find out what happens next.” – Lighting & Sound America
“A supernatural-political horror show that will keep you guessing... just strap in and enjoy the ride.” – Theatrely
“A political drama wrapped in the spooky pleasures of the horror genre, and it works on both levels. Its characters are Mexican American women on the economic fringes, and its concerns are theirs: work, love, heritage, survival; how to be safe, and feel at home, in their own country.” – The New York Times
“Magic and history converge in... a kind of indie horror movie... Caswell raises urgently important topics: domestic violence, the abuse of police authority, the ever-expanding Department of Homeland Security, and the cynical way that politicians profit from it.” – Theatermania
