“Pounding Nails in the Floor With My Forehead is a torrent of bile bubbling with edgy wit and shot through with moral outrage…It is the sound of America commenting on itself…A damning play and brutally effective…”
~BBC

“If Mr. Bogosian hasn’t found any explanations for the inequities he sees everywhere, he has lost none of the indignant verve with which he illustrates them. He is, quite possibly, our most vibrant bringer of bad tidings…He has always had perfect pitch when it comes to street talk, but he is also equally attuned to the unctuousness of our do-good intentions.  There’s nothing like speaking the unspeakable to charge the air…And to clear it.”
~New York Times
