"Under the commanding direction of Giovanna Sardelli, there is never a lost beat in either the action or the dialogue. She deftly guided her actors, both of whom do a brilliant job with their respective characterizations. This is an occasional edge-of-your seat experience as this is not an easy play."

-Century City Westwood News

​

"Directed by frequent Joseph collaborator Giovanna Sardelli, this tale of two regular-guy imperial guards in 17th-century Agra is as intellectually satisfying as it is disquieting."
