"The truism that families come in all shapes and sizes is illuminated with haunting beauty in this exquisitely wrought comedy-drama a piercing portrait of the contemporary social architecture, in which the distance between people can be widened or collapsed with disorienting ease, whether it is through the click of a keyboard, a telephone conversation or a chance encounter. Many of the characters in the play never actually meet, and yet we come away with a moving sense of how each individual's experience resonates - troublingly or happily - in the lives of almost everyone else." - NY Times. "KIN is stubbornly theatrical. Doran has written an intimate story by telling its nonintimate details, peripheral moments (like after-the-kiss debriefs with family members) that nonetheless coalesce into something penetratingly romantic Doran has actually written around her story. This forces audiences into becoming complicit in imagining the central relationship." - Time Out NY. " compelling [an] expanding web of relationships is examined primarily for the better, illuminated with humor and insight in a series of concise, effective, emotion-laden vignettes Doran's dialogue is pointed and humorous KIN is both entertaining and thoughtful, a satisfying emotional journey from start to finish." - Associated Press.
