Review Quotes




"...a strength of Cho's writing is her empathy for those who stumble toward and slip away from intimacies they desperately covet - but aren't equipped to handle."-- "Seattle Times"

"Cho displays a balance and compassion that's Chekhovian... a writer at the top of her game."-- "Village Voice on Durango"

"Cho is fast establishing herself as a chronicler of small tragedies... she is not a sleight of hand artist but a craftsman."-- "Backstage on The Piano Teacher"

"Cho's playwriting style... lures us into caring about characters who never fail to surprise us with their simple humanity."-- "Los Angeles Times on Aubergine"

"A cozy, effective little chiller...Coolly imparts insights about the transmission of evil in a globalized world, where actions a continent away can spread their malign influence to the suburb next door."-- "New York Times on The Piano Teacher"

"A finely wrought drama."-- "Los Angeles Times on Durango"

"A very stimulating new play...preoccupied with matters of linguistics and, more specifically, about how we all take a leap of faith every time we open our mouths...Haunting."-- "Chicago Tribune on The Language Archive"

"Delivers a moving meditation on love, loss, and the emotional power of food. Anyone who's ever shared a quiet late-night meal with a loved one, especially one who's no longer here, will find much to relate to."-- "Hollywood Reporter on Aubergine"

"Undeniably topical...Cho is curious about the intersection of private and public selves, the way psychology and culture mutually express each other. This is a small play, but before you realize it, its rippling current has taken you far from the safety of shore."-- "Los Angeles Times on Office Hour"
