"A very impressive production benefits from an arresting cast. Nelson gives a ferocious performance with the manic energy of a juiced up boxer, all the dreamy or ragged time...and into the mix steps Karen, played to perfection by Marsh, who sells innocence masterfully."
— Rohan Preston, Star Tribune
"'Speed-the-Plow'...takes place inside a cool 'found' space in Northeast Minneapolis. The staging is innovative. The actors represent the top tier of Twin Cities talent."
— Dominic Papatola, Pioneer Press
"This is a great play, with a great cast, in an interesting nontraditional space, which makes for a unique and entertaining evening at the theater."
— Jill Schafer, Cherry and Spoon
