"Barrie, who has created a series of indelible portrayals in recent seasons (in Mariette in Ecstasy, Graceland and The Ruby Sunrise), is a true treasure. With her alabaster skin, sonorous voice, balletic grace and palpable inner life she is worth seeing in Mrs Caliban for its opening sequences alone, as she repeatedly bids mechanical goodbyes to her detached husband, washes dishes and dances into deep fantasy to the sound of classical music on the radio."
-Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times
"[Barrie's] work in the lead role is gutsy and sexy . . . Mrs. Caliban is a fascinating piece - it's creative, ambitious, sensual, unusual and, frankly, haunting."
-Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
