“Nothing prepared us for the explosion of guilt, passion, angst and cultural concern of HOUSE OF AMERICA... it’s thrilling stuff.”
“A modern tragedy for a neglected nation left me humbled...a master work.”
“An achievement of amazing power, understanding, horror and wisdom which holds its audience in an iron grasp.”
