Praise for this book

"... [HYDRIOTAPHIA] shows off its author's dazzling intellect, wit and ambition to richly enjoyable effect ... Subtitled 'An Epic Farce About Death and Primitive Capital in Five Scenes, ' the play flourishes Kushner's trademark ability to mix up wildly diverse tonalities and ideas - bawdy humor, theological and class warfare debate, fourth-wall-breaking, dizzying monologues, fantasy and domestic intrigue all whirl like a juggler's pins." -Dennis Harvey, Variety
