"""A profound tragicomedy, or perhaps vice versa, about the reunion that awaits us all."" --New York Times ""Here's a drama where Branden Jacobs-Jenkins both sums up and reconfigures the present moment."" --Vulture ""This reunion--depth-charged like most--unfolds in its own style (blessedly free of clich�) and at its own pace."" --New York Stage Review ""The anxiety of elder millennials as we peer over the hill is a rich source of drama, and Jacobs-Jenkins finds thrilling ways to exploit that."" --TheaterMania ""A more up-to-date play than ""The Comeuppance"" does not exist. One of the great pleasures here, among many others, is how Jacobs-Jenkins takes us right up to June 2023 through the play's many references to yesterday's news."" --The Wrap"
