NYTimes Review: "The main attraction is Joanna Parson's very rendering of Mrs. Bob Cratchit, whom Mr. Durang makes the title character. This Mrs. Cratchit isn't quite the one you remember; she's a suicidal, child-hating depressive who doesn't seem bothered when, at the play's end, Mr. Durang turns her son Tiny Tim into a dog."
