“Two years ago, Valerie Curtis-Newton directed the Denver Center’s Colorado New Play Summit workshop reading of Last Night and the Night Before. She returns to this production with a finely tuned sense of heart and physical flow. The cast gives her deeply rooted performances. And she’s deftly abetted by scenic designer Matthew Smucker, who has created a handsome set that establishes a fluid tension between Brooklyn and the fictional town of Vixten, Ga. Lighting design, by Mary Louise Geiger, accentuates the real-life feel of Rachel and Nadima’s apartment even as it plunges the past and the clandestine into evocative shadow.” - The Denver Post
