Ben Brantley, “‘Miles for Mary,’ a Sendup of the Interminable Meeting From Hell”

October 11, 2016 By Professor Elizabeth Coggeshall

“Though Dante cataloged many forms of diabolical torture in his Inferno, a guided tour of hell, he somehow missed out on what could well be the most excruciating eternal punishment of all. I mean (ominous organ chords, please) the staff meeting that never, ever ends.” –Ben Brantley, “Review: ‘Miles for Mary,’ a Sendup of the Interminable Meeting From Hell,” New York Times, October 9, 2016
