"From bruising rhetoric to sucker-punch VP choices, this election has been a thrill-a-minute brawl. Celebrate the political violence with a politically violent play from Babes With Blades, Chicago's favorite pack of well-armed women." - Centerstage Editor's Pick: Highly Recommended
"The 'Land of the Free' rapidly transforms into becoming the home of the brave.... As Jamie, Elise Lammers drives most of the action, and her willingness to stop at nothing for the sake of her family is believable.

"...Beth Cummings's Babes With Blades production is slapdash fun throughout... especially during a battle royal featuring sharp household objects." Chicago Reader, Tony Adler
