Press Reviews

"Bruising, rowdy-guy theater…Mr. Kessler has a gift for building momentum through accelerating degrees of conflict.” —The New York Times. ”[A] cocktail of sex, drugs, radical talk and visceral not-quite-realism…it's a creepy pleasure to watch the characters…stomp down the garden path.“ —Time Out New York. ”Kessler has a keen eye for psychological and emotional manipulation.“ —Backstage. ”Kessler's disturbing play delves into dark and disconcerting places…stunning language, vibrant speeches, and genuine emotion…COLLISION is a smart, troubling, and timely play…an intense, intelligent, and complicated piece for audiences ready to be challenged and intrigued."
