Press Reviews

"A piercingly funny and perceptive short play which, in its production by New York's Ensemble Studio Theatre, as part of their One-Act Play Marathon, brought immediate popular and critical acclaim to its author. “LIFE UNDER WATER is no mere gem. It is a full-bodied 45-minute work that marks the arrival of a young playwright with a big future.” —The New York Times. “…a fully realized piece of high comedy, sharply observed and rich in feeling.” —Village Voice. “Greenberg, like a champion fencer, hits with the fewest, fastest, most economical strokes right to the heart. And with what witty disenchantment, what heartbreaking humor!"
— New York Magazine
