"The result is a compelling, powerfully acted mix of courtroom drama and passion play grounded by the central performances of Kevin Bishop and Casey Chapman as Wilde and Bosie." - Albert Williams, Chicago Reader
"Casey Chapman brings the most depth in the production with a surprisingly human portrayal of Lord Alfred Douglas. It's commonplace to create a one-dimension self absorbed villain of Douglas but Chapman infuses this character with a sincere and beguiling love for Wilde - while simultaneously displaying his impudent flaws for all to see." - Venus Zarris, Chicago Stage Review
"Casey Chapman really makes something of the somewhat underwritten role of Bosie." - Tom Williams, Chicago Critic
"Casey Chapman (one of the Chicago storefront's hidden treasures) is never allowed to slacken in his breathtaking performance. Chapman delivers each phrase, each word - each syllable - of his text to find significant insights frequently surprising, occasionally vulgar, but always fresh and clearly-motivated, even to seasoned playgoers who could recite Albee in their sleep. The result is an hour long demonstration of artistry at its purest." - Mary Shen Barnidge, Windy City Times

"I can't say enough how impressive the performances are. Casey Chapman grounds things well with his excellent portrayal of the gender-bent Lola. I can imagine audiences do not realize that this is actually a man playing the role. Chapman nails it. He is every bit the femme fatale, the damsel in distress, and ultimately the young man who wishes to hide away in someone else's skin. It is a moving and dangerous performance." - Don Hall, A W G Chicago
"Under Greg Beam's direction, the cast (featuring a sleek drag turn by Casey Chapman as Lola) immerse themselves in their personae, with never a therapeutic wink to their audience." - Mary Shen Barnidge, Windy City Times

"Chapman and Ablos are charming and you cannot take your eyes away from what is displayed." - Kris Vrie, Time Out Chicago
"Chapman has a boyish charm as the macho, gruff-talking Bert. His sweet, almost delicate manner offsets Bert's mild sadomasochism and the actor's own stunning prescense. This balance works particularly well when he tells the story of his most memorable encounter, giving this crude yet lovely chance meeting all of the richness it deserves." - Diana Spinard, Windy City Times
"Casey Chapman is charming and frisky as Dink, he is the standout." - Joe Stead, Steadstyle Chicago
