Second Live Enquirer/AP: "a very satisfying piece of theatre. The Avatar Repertory Theatre has once again challenged themselves to push the boundaries of Second Life to produce a transformative event"...Fassnacht carrying the burden of Oedipus’ arc from top-of-the-world to bottom-of-the-heap with strength and pathos.

New World Notes: "trailer, which interestingly, is not entirely safe for work viewing. Because you know what they say about Oedipus: Like Shaft, he's a bad motherfu-- SHUT YO' MOUTH"
