"As the author of 'The Fever,' and as a performer of it, I want to say that I found David Shapiro's rendition of my piece truly amazing and wonderful. In fact, I have to admit that I would have loved to do it the way he did it when I performed it but I wasn't able to. I really hope that a lot of people get the opportunity to see it." —Wallace Shawn
"You will react in one of two ways to Shawn’s play — you can get angry, or you can reevaluate your life." —American Theatre Magazine
