   “Elegantly written…it evolves into a moving argument for that eternal gamble with terrible odds: taking a chance on love. The pleasure…is its unexpected depth. The intimacy of the conversation draws the audience in; before LET’S PLAY TWO is over, you may find yourself in tears over Grace’s delicate emotional condition and, more significantly, Phil’s capacity for acceptance and goodness.”Peter Marks, The New York Times   “LET’S PLAY TWO hits a home run…. Anthony Clarvoe pulls off a difficult feat and makes it look easy. At a time when romance is often cynically treated onstage as some sort of poisoned folly, he makes us care about two ordinary, likable people trying to connect…. LET’S PLAY TWO is a genuine date play. Clarvoe turns us all into fans and gets us rooting for both sides at once.”Steven Winn, San Francisco Chronicle   “LET’S PLAY TWO…should please anybody who enjoys a tender, rueful, well-acted romantic comedy…. The play is not really about baseball—it’s about a turning point in the romance between two baseball fans. Clarvoe never glorifies, nor condescends to, his average guy and gal characters. He always observes them with clear eyes, but affectionate humor and respect…. LET’S PLAY TWO is highly engaging, and surprisingly, it lingers with a sweet poignancy long after it’s over.”Matthew Surrence, Oakland Tribune   “Clarvoe writes exceptionally clever dialogue. He knows how to map out the psychological journeys of Grace and Phil so that we remain eager to travel along for two acts and two hours. And he’s created two characters at once familiar and endearingly oddly matched. The further you travel with Grace and Phil, the more you end up liking—and rooting for—both of them.”Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Examiner   “Clarvoe is more interested in the human comedy than the comedy of errors. Baseball anecdotes and metaphors abound, but they’re never belabored. The lovers are an appealing pair, fighting against love as hard as they fight for it, and their simultaneous win and loss is sweet to see.”Judith Green, San Jose Mercury News

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

  • Fit For A Queen
    Betty Shamieh
       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...

  • City of Light
    Anthony Clarvoe
    'I despaired that any playwright, no matter how skilled, could wrestle this teeming narrative about Buffalo’s grand days at the turn of the last century into an effective script for the theater. I needn’t have worried.   CITY OF LIGHT is a remarkable adaptation. Working closely with Belfer, Clarvoe has managed to condense the 500-plus-page book by focusing tightly on the theme ...

    from Anthony Clarvoe’s introductory notes:  This project started because, on rereading The Great Gatsby at the suggestion of Kip Gould, Publisher of Broadway Play Publishing Inc, [because it had just come into the public domain] I said, 'This is a story about white fragility'...  The Great Gatsby is about a hundred years old....

    Anthony Clarvoe
      'In the spring of 1955, much of the Southern U S was a simmering kettle of racial segregation, civil rights repression, and worker/workplace abuses-one that was on the verge of boiling over into a full scale struggle against those economic and civil rights injustices. With that time and atmosphere of conflict as a starting point, playwright Anthony Clarvoe has focused in on t...

Playwright Anthony Clarvoe understands it too, and his drama is a powerful tale of contact, and of discovery, and of what it takes to survive. Corey teache...
