"Playwright-director Gary Graves and his Central Works collaborators take the John Walker Lindh case and spin it into timely, disturbing questions about a military justice and interrogation system run amok...The sharply defined, intensely focused performances of the Central Works cast make it often a gripping experience as well."
-- Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle
"Director and writer Gary Graves has written and executed a most complex and vital piece...riveting."
-- Deborah Giattina, SF Bay Guardian
"Timely, tense...a well-researched, powerfully acted theatrical piece for audiences to take home and mull over."
-- Jack Tucker, Hills Papers
"An insightful and thought-provoking look at the political and social atmosphere...an intense tableau of intolerance and scandal in the context of a politically-charged world."
-- Angie Baecker, The Daily Californian
"Central Works is a company founded on collaboration in order to make a performance, and it shows: all three performers are at the top of their game, especially working together, with Graves’ direction...Gripping...a platform for the excellence of the cast and the director."
- -Ken Bullock, Berkeley Daily Planet
