“…a play that seems at once classic and fresh.” – Eye on Dance and The Arts
“Although Mr. Kraar brings a decidedly contemporary bent to the famous tale, his play stays admirably rooted in the spirit of the underlying biblical story. The playwright brings specificity and welcome context to the reason why Lot’s wife ultimately turns back to gaze upon the devastated city. Indeed, the work imbues Edith with an earthy sensuality and passionate individualism that turns her tragic end into a revolutionary act of self determination.” – Interludes
“DON’T LOOK BACK… highlights current issues and profound themes… …The poignance of immediately leaving one’s home and all of one’s belongings is identifiable. We empathize with the …symbolic representation of flight, dislocation and fear. Ukraine and Syria easily come to mind as we watch this family struggle to find their way to a new life.” – Theater Pizzazz
“The family dynamics are portrayed beautifully.” – Front Row Center
