- "Mayhan is perfect as the diffident, awkward, unhappy daughter Laura, experiencing one glimmer of romance, only to be dashed down again. A paralyzing timidity cripples housebound Laura far more than her injured leg."
  -Chicago Critic
  
  "Sarah Mayhan (Laura) is a heartbreaker. Mayhan blossoms on stage."
  -ChicagoNow
  
  "Sarah Mayhan (a waif-like actress, not unlike Laura's fragile glass animals) captures Laura's crushed spirit so well, it's almost painful to watch."
  -Huffington Post
  
  "...in her extended scene with gentleman-caller Jim ... [Mayhan] blossoms into a full glow that makes her subsequent devastation all the more heartbreaking."
  -Time Out Chicago
