Review of Mastergate
: “If George Orwell were a gag writer, he could have written Mastergate.
Larry Gelbart's scathingly funny takeoff on the Iran-Contra hearings is a spiky cactus flower in the desert of American political theatre.”
– Jack Kroll, Newsweek

Review of Power Failure
: “There is in his broad etching all the ethical outrage of an Arthur Miller kvetching.
And, oh, so much more fun!” – Carolyn Clay, The Boston Phoenix
