“Heskett brings an invigorated gravitas” – Backstage

“Heskett could not be more captivating… Heskett continually peels back the layers to show a man questioning the cause to which he has dedicated a lifetime. The emotional material here is so deft that it pushes for real estate on a par with Shakespeare, Ibsen and O’Neill” – NY Press

“The cast is uniformly fantastic. Cheek owns the stage as Ronnie, and Heskett is her long-suffering match…. I was a little disappointed that Becky Byers and David Rosenblatt did not continue their roles as Ronnie and Abbie, but Cheek and Heskett are so good, I can’t truly begrudge them.” – Broadway World

“Especially impressive were Hanna Cheek and Stephen Heskett (replacing Becky Byers and David Rosenblatt) who channeled the former actors while also adding new and compelling layers to their now more grizzled characters.” – Show Business Weekly

“Heskett (outstanding in this and last year’s Brain Explode!), on the other hand, carries a haunted and hunted look in his eyes that balances his self-assured intelligence. When he proudly advocates his role in the invasion, it’s clear that he truly doesn’t see it as genocide, but rather as the necessary evolution of an all-accepting, violence-free new species. Heskett’s disturbingly convincing, even in spite of — or perhaps because of — his Achilles-like arrogance.” – That Sounds Cool
