"Koon's dialogue, sprinkled judisciously with cutting one-liners, hovers mid-air between archness and anguished exposure...he triumphs in capturing our current sense of national paralysis."
--Chicago Tribune
"A riveting world premiere...strikes a compelling balance, diving beneath the black and white surface of this contentious topic to uncover the gray middle ground."
--ChicagoStageReview.com
“A humane, multivoiced rumination on values and environmental conundrums…grants every character a measure of sensitivity and individuality…"Odin's Horse" is layered with meaningful arguments.”
--Seattle Times
"One of Seattle's best productions of 2012."
--Seattle Gay News
