“McLaughlin’s play, like Euripides’, is an anti-war play; it’s also hilarious and has lots to say about the ways that women, especially women in the public eye, are denied their own humanity.” – Jean Schiffman, SF Examiner

“…the actors give stellar performances to pull us back into the nightmare scenarios of Beauty and War.” – Rachel Norby, Theatrius

“Adriane Deane is a graceful Helen, easily negotiating the play’s comedy as well as its quieter, deeply felt moments.” – Jean Schiffman, Examiner

“Director Shannon R. Davis taps into the skills of her diverse cast, a fusion of Asian, White, Native American, and non-binary gender actors, to bring us a fun, fast-paced, surprising whirl of interactions that move faster than preconceived notions can dry.” – Christine Okon, Theatre & Such
