Originally produced by Playhouse Theatre, 1970.

Dedicated to Steven Brice.

"A play devoutly to be seen. Lanford Wilson creates characters, situations and human drama that rivets the audience to their seats. Director Mary B. Robinson succeeded in capturing the maze of cross-currents without yielding to the melodramatic."
— Lee Canaan, Entertainment News Syndicate

"The play is always engrossing, and Wilson is well-served by Mary Robinson's brisk direction of a fine cast. Jeff Daniels is so relaxed and charming as Alan that he fairly lifts us out of our seats when the emotional explosion comes."
— Leida Snow, 1010 WINS Radio

"Lanford Wilson must surely be one of our best contemporary playwrights. An outstanding evening of theater. Don't be surprised if Lemon Sky becomes Second Stage's latest commercial transfer."
— Terry Helbing, New York Native

"Franklin goes right past the decorative byways and distractions which are the excess baggage of art. The nonjudgmental simplicity of her writing is the source of its greatness."
— The Village Voice

"The action is so natural, real, you feel you're peeling back your neighbor's curtains and peering through. The scenes are simple yet daring and boldly etched. This production is directed with great style and understanding."
— Abiola Sinclair, New Amsterdam News

"Far deeper and more devastating than the usual run of family plays, because of the writer's incisive simplicity and her gift for seeing her characters in the found. Strong performances from a first-rate cast."
— Michael Feingold, The Village Voice

"As hilarious as it is unlikely. Kathy and Mo are terrific. You will laugh, you may even cry. You may even learn something."
— Clive Barnes, New York Post

"While the sketch's feminist object lesson in the dehumanizing packaging of women is hardly new, the dramatization of that lesson is mercilessly, bleakly funny."
— Frank Rich, The New York Times

"You saw Lily Tomlin and loved her. So get ready to fall head over heels for Kathy Najimy and Mo Gaffney. They have wit, craziness, daring, good humor, tons of fun, and, above all, heart."
— Michael Sommers, New York Native
