"Ms. Ruhl's unmistakable voice---poetic and quirky, underpinned with serious feeling and even more serious intelligence---trumpets forth in brash, impressive form in this ambitious and frisky and expansive triptych."---Charles Isherwood, New York Times
"Passion Play steers a course between the illusions of faith and the illusions of reason. The power of the show is in its cumulative eloquence---themes, symbols, characters and verbal motifs are rewoven, refracted and turned back on themselves. Ruhl is an original; a storyteller with a fine mind evolving her own theatrical idiom."---John Lahr, New Yorker
"Ruhl's Passion Play is the most exciting, stimulating and thrilling piece of theater to hit New York since Angels in America."---David Sheward, Backstage
"Ruhl has a mind of literary elasticity. Passion Play hopscotches from the literal to the dreamlike on the steppingstones of metaphor. It confirms the emergence of a fresh and provocative voice that the theater desperately needs."---Peter Marks, Washington Post
"The belated New York debut of Sarah Ruhl's provocative look at the tale of Jesus' trials staged in three eras makes a good case for this epic as a new American classic."---Time
"Sarah Ruhl's biggest, most ambitious effort yet" (New York Times), an intimate epic about the annual staging of the Passion by a community of players in three different eras: 1575 Northern England, just before Queen Elizabeth outlaws the ritual; 1934 Oberammergau, Bavaria, as Hitler is rising to power; and Spearfish, South Dakota, from the time of Vietnam through Reagan's presidency.
