Critical Response

Head Critic for "The New York Times", Ben Brantley stated: [http://theater2.nytimes.com/2008/01/23/theater/reviews/23brantley.html]
“Tasty, bite-sized comedies. Nimbly directed by Neil Pepe. Theatergoers nostalgic for the urbane, mind-teasing divertissements that once flourished Off-Broadway should leave happily hungry. A dream team!”
Melissa Rose Bernardo from "Entertainment Weekly" stated: [http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20173636,00.html]
“Boisterous and fun! Coen couldn’t ask for a better production than this Atlantic Theater Company treatment!”
Linda Winer from "Newsday" Stated: [http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/stage/ny-etsecw5547255jan23,0,4162294.story]
“Gleeful, thoughtful and darkly loopy! These new, lean pieces mark the serious stage debut of a shrewd and weirdly endearing comic voice.”
