Racked with pain... Marisela Trevino Orta... has fashioned a message drama around a more ethereal reverie about the afterlife nature and the definition of evil. - Dallas Voice
A magical tale of those who are subject to tyrannical rule seeking freedom through the bond they have as women and as heirs to the wildness of nature. Wolf at the Door takes us through the darkness of the soul and offers us hope. - The Column Online
This riveting and resonant fairy tale is definitely for grownups... Orta's script develops the characters well beyond fairy tale tropes... they become fully fleshed-out beings with backstories that matter. Particularly resounding is the theme of women banding together against a man who's kept them down. - The Oregonian
