"[This] story is packed into such an intelligent and dynamic package that it's worth a trip to the Collapsable Hole for a lesson in the vagaries of making history."
"The ensemble's connection with one another is the truest homage they could offer to the memory of the collective they have clearly, though reservedly, come to admire."
--Backstage Magazine - Critic's Pick!
"This is a group of brilliant artists who will, without question, make their mark in the world of theater for a long time to come."
"Jess Chayes’s direction is daring and engrossing."
"Their connection with one another, both as actors and characters, is palpable and powerful."

"Impressively researched and clear-eyed, home/sick shows us the Underground's internal contradictions, and we see Bolshevik passion lapsing into self-delusion and then flaring up again, until we are unsure what to admire and what to deplore."
--TimeOut NY
"Captivating portrayals of orgies, drug consumption, hilarious exercise routines and just plain goofing fill in the blanks of a potentially lifeless history of the leading members of the nation's most famous and violent student radical organization. Somehow, they remind us that there's some Weatherman in each of us."
