"The writing delicately renders the conflict between family responsibility and the artist's calling, between romantic yearning and the realities of married love." 
The Village Voice, New York, NY

"This wonderfully quixotic piece by Linda Manning explores the struggles Charlotte faced, including her own stifling romantic ideals. With a striking level of skill and versatility, Manning and her costar Michael Pinney interpret the author's life in a manner that is always theatrical and ultimately moving."
TimeOut New York, New York, NY

“The  Invisible Theatre Company’s adaptation of the classic tale is strikingly fresh, thanks to playwright Linda Manning’s bold vision.... Manning had a dynamic presence .... Deftly handling the madness that lies at the heart of Poe’s tale, Manning oscillated from a petulant little girl, to a proper young lady, to a disturbing sexual force.... The amount of humor that Manning has incorporated into the script, without compromising its horror, is one of its greatest accomplishments.”
The Off-Off-Broadway Review
