"You can't take your eyes off him. In the astonishing and mezmerizing new Broadway production of Brian Friel's great play, Ralph Fiennes paints a portrait of an artist as dreamer and destroyer that feels so fresh. Rarely has his glamorous star shine been put to such powerful use. Anyone who starts listening as these three characters tell their fantastic story should be hooked. In the powerful Mr. Fiennes, the fierce and beautifully sustained Cherry Jones and Ian McDiarmid, who is beyond reproach, director Jonathan Kent's poetically stark production has storytellers who know how to hold the stage unconditionally." Ben Brantley, The New York Times
