Press Reviews

"A brilliantly inventive and perceptive portrait of one of history's most controversial and fascinating figures—Lord Byron. “…a brilliant, witty, searing work that seeks and finds the man behind the romantic legend.” —Variety. “The Museum Theatre has presented nothing in the last three seasons that is more polished, eloquent or deeply moving than this work.” —Richmond News Leader. ”It's a tremendously exciting play, this CHILDE BYRON…it marks the arrival of an awesomely gifted American playwright."
