""Vogel, who loves a dirty joke, knows that laughter is a way of taking things seriously. Sometimes the best way... Thirty or so years ago, Vogel told a reporter, 'I like theater that makes me feel like it's a healing.' That's what Mother Play is, a balm that comes in cardboard boxes and packing tape. It honors the dead by making them alive again and nurtures the living by providing a place to put a daughter's love and rage."" - The New York Times
