"Eleven perfectly constructed scenes…this comedy-drama really has it all – a wonderful story that operates on several levels, scintillating dialogue, compelling direction, a fantastic cast...the play could easily withstand a move to Broadway."
                                                                                  John Gallagher—National Board of Review

"Enthralling to watch...funny, at times surprising, and definitely thought-provoking...'The Desire' is delightful."
                                    Linda Armstrong—Amsterdam News

"As playwright, Jackie Alexander is a keen observer of how the aftermath of hurricane Katrina affects two long time friends in his brilliant play, 'The Desire'; Mr. Alexander further enlightens us with excellent direction."
