"This terrific new play by Clare Barron . . . offers a hilarious and painfully affecting blend of oddball dialogue, beautifully observed family dynamics, and a preoccupation with the weird ways of the body . . . Barron’s special genius lies in the deep dividends she derives from small talk."—The New Yorker
"[Barron’s] play . . . blends offbeat, sometimes raunchy comedy into a slowly fused drama. Ms. Barron is not afraid of the occasional flight of fancy . . . and still more startling surprises."—New York Times
"Clare Barron’s extraordinary You Got Older moved me as few new plays have. As a critic, I can usually shake things off fast . . . but for some time after the play’s wrenching finale, I found myself literally shaking. You Got Older beautifully captures elusive things about avoidance: It’s about the denial of death, but also the denial of living. Like a great short story, it succeeds through details that . . . coalesce with a force all the stronger for their subtlety . . . there are moments in this play that I know I won’t forget."—Time Out New York
