"A remorselessly sad, achingly funny assault on the vanities, inanities and insanities of family life ... All of Mr. Durang's works have been satires built on a mound of pain, but Bette and Boo represents a greater effort to leaven this pain with understanding ... a new poignancy has entered his work ... universal in its appeal." – Robert Brustein, The Nation
