"What made this theatre piece particularly effective was the range and depth of emotions touched upon, and the insight which each of the women in the cast clearly possess…. LEFTOVERS is intensely personal, yet highly entertaining theatre."

—Liz M. Braun

"LEFTOVERS reheats the trials and tribulations of fat women, but could be served to anyone with any socially-induced compulsive habits (i.e.smoking, working, drinking, buying, driving)… LEFTOVERS rises above being uncomfortable psychodrama, and becomes fine entertainment with a satisfyingly educational effect."
