Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review
"This world premiere will be remembered as the show that introduced Chicago to Siah Berlatsky. My advice is to snap up your tickets now before they’re all gone. Once word gets out about how much fun this play is, audiences will be flocking to the Den Theatre to forget their troubles and laugh themselves silly."
Karen Topham, Chicago Onstage
"The funniest show of the year... Berlatsky’s brilliant defiance of heteronormative society will keep you laughing all night long. These days, such shows are needed more than ever, and this one is a joyous surprise."
Kimzyn Campbell, The Chicago Reader
"Layers of story upon story parallel each other—cascading through class, gender, and sexuality with aplomb, uncloaking not just a Shakespearean ease of wit, but also displaying a Gen Z modern sensibility."
Kathy Hey, Third Coast Review
"The Artistic Home presents a sidesplitting farce with playwright Siah Berlatsky’s Malapert Love."
