Another Bone Reviews
Chicago Tribune- Somewhat Recommended
"...The play's strongest moment is actually the opening monologue — a pair of monologues, in fact — from Grandt and Jan Ellen Graves as the widow of a firefighter, as well. Her husband, however, died under more typical circumstances: On the job, in a house fire. "Well, that's good at least," people tell her when they learn he wasn't killed in Sept. 11, as if the outcome isn't precisely the same."
Time Out Chicago- Recommended
"...I couldn’t shake the feeling that Another Bone should have made me uncomfortable, and it does not. It contrasts national heroes and forgotten servicemen, explores the intimate relationship with remains. It successfully portrays the impossible importance placed on certain deaths in small, human portions: the husband to a 9/11 widow, the jealous best friend, the beautiful space paid for with money from a grieving nation. Yet it’s not nearly ugly enough. The knife just doesn’t twist, and things remain too cleanly arranged in space to ever feel like they’re falling apart."

"...The depiction of the difference between society (and government) takes on the on-duty deaths of firefighters from ‘regular’ on-duty deaths and the super-hero depictions of the 911 loss of firemen is worth thinking about."
