“As shepherded by Signature’s artistic second-in-command, Matthew Gardiner — who hereby submits his credentials for entry to the first-class cabin of Washington directors — “Really Really” is the sharpest original play the Arlington company has offered up in years… Gardiner’s experience as a choreographer pays off here, for the wordless scene is a sublimely orchestrated exhibition of the giddy wearing-off of hormones and booze.”- Peter Marks, Washington Post
“[Gardiner] seems like the perfect director for this show, drawing out its ugly jokes and compelling portraits with a fluid ease that makes them feel like just another part of college life.”- Washingtonian
