Praise for Sheila Callaghan [Callaghan] push(es) her audience's buttons with an aggressive treatment of some of the darker corners of the human psyche. --The New York Times Sheila Callaghan seems to have put third-wave feminism, Gen-Y gender confusion and macho writerly cliches in a blender set to high speed. --TimeOut New York [Callaghan's] plays defy categorization.
