"What is the playwright's equivalent of the novelist's "unputdownable'- 'ungetupable' perhaps? Butterfield ... deserves some such accolade." -
New York Post
"A thoughtful, balanced, cleanly structured work. Ms. Butterfield has a gift for clear exposition that many other playwrights would benefit from." -
New York Times
"A richly complex story about what people are willing to live with in marriages that aren't perfect. Under Evan Yionoulis' sensitive direction even the children come off as totally believable."

Joined at the Head
(Published by Dramatists Play Service: DPSinfo@broadwaylicensing.com)
Catherine Butterfield, author of the eloquent "Joined at the Head," is a playwright with a near-perfect touch: Her wry reversals of plot and audience expectations deliver compassionate takes on contemporary contradictions and confusions. "Life in the Trees" is a gem, achingly funny and true. CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"An amusing exegesis of urban angst, "Life in the Trees" places Catherine Butterfield among the premiere ranks of disaffected playwrights whose humor derives from endearingly neurotic characters ravaged by the killing stress of big city life." LA TIMES
"Butterfield again proves herself a superior playwright, a master of delicious dialogue, with heart beneath the humor." VARIETY

"Refreshing talent... In a manner related to Tom Stoppard and John Guare, the work deals enticingly with truth and fiction... a vibrant reflection on life, art and friendship.....a striking accomplishment."
NEW YORK TIMES
“An incontestable achievement,” THE NEW YORKER
“For the actress and the playwright to be 'Joined at the Head,' as they are in Catherine Butterfield's fine, funny play of that title at the Manhattan Theater Club at City Center is a feat tantamount to splitting one's personality. That Butterfield does it successfully is a tribute to her many talents as a writer and actress.An elegant off-Broadway debut for a fine playwright and actress who is a name to watch for in either capacity.” UPI
