CRITIC’S CHOICE – LOS ANGELES TIMES

“…you can’t get more riveting than Larry Moss’ finely tuned production at Theatre/Theater…the staging affords ample unleashed passion and performance precision…”Philip Brandes, LA Times

GO – LA WEEKLY

“John Patrick Shanley's semi-autobiographical one-act about growing up in a dysfunctional working class Irish-American Catholic family is smartly directed by Larry Moss.” Sandra Ross, LA Weekly

PICK – BACKSTAGE WEST

“Under the tender hand of Larry Moss...we sit transfixed, transported to the excruciatingly painful life of young Johnny, Shanley's alter ego.  It's tough to get the tone of this play just right. By the end here, it's so right we're left shattered by the imagery, in awe of the artistry.”  Dany Margolies, Backstage West
