“An engaging and smart comedy of manners... Achingly true.”

-Charles Isherwood, New York Times

“A funny, tightly written dramedy. Speaks clearly about the matters that unite us as well as those that keep us apart.”

-Roma Torre, NY1

“An engaging new comedy of cultural misunderstanding…  Dohrn deftly establishes the ways that tone – the elusive key for westerners struggling to master Mandarin – can take precedence over meaning… An affecting study of how love is, at heart, the struggle to establish a common language.”

-Brendan Lemon, Financial Times

“Dohrn throws bold elbows, parcels out his characters' epiphanies sparingly, and touches down on a satisfyingly grim note.” 

-Scott Brown, New York Magazine
