Press Reviews

"Among the many remarkable aspects of Mr. Guare's writing is the seamlessness of his imagery, characters and themes, as if this play had erupted from his own imagination in one perfect piece.“ – The New York Times”Cunningly executed, seemingly seamlessly joined, interlarded with clever one-liners, alternating comic situations with mildly disturbing ones… Six Degrees of Separation is a play about everything, with something in it for everyone."

— New York Magazine
