It has the excitement of a taut, packed thriller; it explores guilt, suffering and redemption with real depth. The talents of Victor Bumbalo - the comic charm, the moral courage, the range of characters - are in perfect accord." -Margo Jefferson, Pulitzer Prize-winning critic, New York Times and author of On Michael Jackson "Noteworthy talent abounds in Victor Bumbalo's poetic morality play." -Los Angeles Times "Intense and emotionally riveting. A well-written and gripping play!" -Cynthia Citron, K A B C (radio) "Riveting! Fascinating! Mesmerizing! ... Victor Bumbalo's vivid script ... QUESTA has a life of its own that will most definitely linger long after this run is completed." -Sarika Chawla, IN Magazine "Remarkable! Strong! Victor Bumbalo's dialogue is on the mark." -Jonas Schwartz, theatremania.com "Praise goes to Bumbalo's script for neither over or under doing anything and providing strong characterizations for all seven characters." -Tolucan Times
