What the Critics are Saying

"Critic's Pick!
LUMINOUS, LIVELY and UNFORGETTABLE!"
The Boston Globe

"No Child... won't be left behind. Nilaja Sun's dazzling one-woman show is a tour de force and a wrenching cry from the heart.
PRICELESS, VIVID, SEARING, TRUE and HEARTBREAKING!"
The Chicago Sun-Times

"THE SHOW OF THE YEAR! An unexpected, superb achievement. Ms. Sun's gloriously uncynical gem reaches greatness. She has offered hope and belief in a better, saner world. Her schoolkids are lucky to have her. So are we."
New York Observer

"BEST SOLO SHOW OF THE YEAR! Sensational! Grade: A"
Entertainment Weekly

"BEST OF THE YEAR!
Nilaja Sun tells us something vital about our world. No Child… goes where theater rarely dares to tread."
New York Magazine

"That Sun has done something great in this show is without question. That she has managed to bring politics that don't preach and a heart that is not lachrymose to the enterprise is more than ample evidence of her skill as a writer: it is a testament to her intelligence and to the strong moral center that guides her. Like Lily Tomlin and Whoopi Goldberg in their early work, Sun brings us not her world but the world. By showing us how the other half lives, Sun and Brooks provide an object lesson in what should not be missing from any life curriculum: HOPE."
The New Yorker
