"Makenna Van Raalte has [ ] limited material as Imre Thurzó, György's son and Pál's best friend, but they do well inhabiting both the individual character and the larger role that character plays in the narrative, ensuring that the play's climax is well-earned."
- Christine Malcom, Talkin' Broadway
