"It may be a coincidence that Peter's middle name is sin, but certainly his dramatic vision is wickedly idiosyncratic. A new writer on the scene, Peter is already making a splash on the national front with productions in New York and Chicago. It's not surprising. Peter writes with scandalous panache about the American family in crisis and the results are surprising, unnerving and hilarious, making him a writer to watch."
- Paul Walsh, ACT
in Theatre Bay Area Magazine, November 2004
