reviews: 

“[A] terrifyingly plausible work of dystopian fiction…Step by step, Schenkkan gets us to see the way the collapse of institutions leads to the collapse of morality and the rule of law.” — Los Angeles Times

“In his mesmerizing two-hander, Schenkkan illustrates the chilling speed at which fascistic tendencies can overtake ordinary Americans.” —The Hollywood Reporter.

“At present, "Building the Wall" sounds far-fetched; one lesson of the first 100 days is that even presidents must operate within legal confines…but Schenkkan’s project puts down a marker declaring that the American theater always can be—and had better be—a swift-moving imaginative and intellectual platform.” — Washington Post

“There’s a hold-your-breath inevitability to what is finally disclosed in "Building the Wall," [a] powerful dystopian drama about life in the Donald Trump era…what the writer imagines is not so much a fanciful futurist leap but a calculated cautionary tale…[a] scorcher of a play…” — Variety
