The Water Children Reviews
Chicago Reader- Recommended
"...They wind up in bed together, and it's all uphill from there, an unplanned pregnancy being one major point of contention. It probably goes without saying that a setup this contrived requires a pair of actors who can finesse a strong sense of conviction against a lingering attraction. But you'd be surprised how delicate that balance can be. In this revival from the Cuckoo's Theater Project, directed by Denise Smolarek, the chemistry between the leads is palpable and convincing, restrained and focused at all the right moments, lending credence to the notion that love and politics are never black and white."
Picture This Post- Somewhat Recommended
"...It seems like playwright Wendy MacLeod thinks if she throws in enough gotchas about how her play's characters are less than angels-whether Randall or Megan's lesbian roommate representing the Left, Melissa Golden-she thinks she is showing complexity. The pile on of bromides became suffocating by play's end, to this writer."
