Pulitzer-winner Guirgis's Halfway Bitches Go Straight to Heaven is about the harrowing, humorous, and heartbreaking inner workings of a women's halfway house in New York City. Ben Brantley writes in the New York Times that Guirgis's latest is "a vibrant and expansive comic drama with heaving humanity, surging vitality and diversity! [...] I wish I had the space to describe every performance."
