“The Great Leap is a nuanced and cerebral work that at Cygnet under Rob Lutfy's direction receives an exquisite staging. The first unmissable production of 2020 on San Diego stages, "The Great Leap" is urgent, profoundly felt theater.”

-David Coddon, SD City Beat

“The piece can be static and distancing, But not with Rob Lutfy, one of San Diego’s most astute and visionary directors, at the helm…the production is superb. The play has the rhythm and pacing of a basketball game.”

-Pat Launer, Times of San Diego

“Rob Lutfy’s direction is fast-paced and scrappy, with elbows akimbo. Cygnet’s production of The Great Leap is a definite winner, with fast-breaks, dogged defense, and lots of sunk three-point shots.”

-Bill Eadie, San Diego story
