Twelve Hours packs a lot of humanity into 90 minutes of gripping theatre... Eight beautifully written characters are vividly realized... This simply staged piece about a seemingly imminent death paradoxically brims with life. (Columbus Dispatch)
A powerful and engaging work... a moving theatrical experience. (Ohio Jewish News)
