Press Reviews
"It is an all-out plea for world government to stave off atomic warfare...both the play and the playwright probably will be widely cussed and discussed."
— Variety
"You can take Emmet Lavery's THE GENTLEMAN FROM ATHENS in any one of three ways: as farce, as romance, or as a plea for honest idealism in politics...as farce, it is fun, full of wonderfully amusing scenes and people."
— Elliot Norton, The Boston Post
