"Alexander's dialogue is rhythmic and often lyrical, his characters rounded...a fine play, with some echoes of August Wilson."
                Backstage on Birthright

"Written and directed by Jackie Alexander…this six-character play is tight as a drum, eleven perfectly constructed scenes...a wonderful story that operates on several levels, scintillating dialogue, compelling direction...the play could easily withstand a move to Broadway."
                                          National Board of Review on The Desire

"Director Jackie Alexander must be commended....a play where the same two people sit around the same room talking for scene after scene could get boring in the hands of a lesser director, but Alexander kept the show's energy up and got big performances out of his small cast."
                                                                 OOBR on Plenty of Time

"Jackie Alexander, writer, director...potrays a touching and heartrending story that could have been ripped from today's headlines...explores the impact of misplaced authority and misguided justice, and yet leaves the viewer with a sense of hope and purpose. "
