“Enchanting… with all the erudition of classical and pagan mythology, of god and devils, of sin and redemption, Ouroboros is a highbrow Twilight Zone and a comedy of opposites ever so carefully and symmetrically balanced!” – LA Weekly

“Wow! A powerfully mesmerizing trip into the unknown, and a wildly worthy night of theatre!” – The Tolucan Times

“Three stars… riveting… intelligent… thought-provoking!” – Daily News

“Fascinating, funny, highly dramatic… backwards and forwards, is the structure Jacobson employs brilliantly to trace his characters’ search for faith, love and death!” – Curtain Up

“Fascinating adventure… two couples engage in a traveling palindrome: as they travel from city to city in Italy time flows in opposite directions!” – Beverly Hills Outlook

“Critic’s pick… first-rate acting, and ingeniously constructed story, exquisite technical aspects, and skillful direction lead this admonition: you must experience this play!” – Back Stage West
