“Lila Rose Kaplan’s Wildflower has excellent roots, with firm characterizations and graceful dramaturgy. Giovanna Sardelli draws killers perfs from the whole cast. Kaplan’s capper is such a provocative one that it’s impossible not to recommend Wildflower.”
- Sam Thielman, Variety
“Giovanna Sardelli has imposed a buoyant consistency of tone throughout the weirdness, never failing to highlight the necessary underlying heart. The cast is a fine floral treat.” -Matthew Murray, Talkinbroadway.com
“Steven C. Kemp’s economical scenic design allows director Giovanna Sardelli to give the episodic play a swift, fluid staging.”

“A compact, tightly woven story with a quirky but well-reigned sense of humor. It [Wildflower] is exactly the kind of play that makes Second Stage one of the city’s most dependable outlets for unique, provocative new plays... If Wildflower indicates what is to come, Second Stage has brought to our attention a young writer we should be sure to watch.”
