Press Reviews
"…Mr. Donaghy…is a dramatist of inventive eloquence, finding the poetry of longing in the empty mantras and sound bites of contemporary pop culture."
— The New York Times
"Skillful, smart, and funny…brilliant dialogue…Donaghy displays great talent in the handling of story. His ear for the comic eccentricities of ordinary speech is superb."
— New York Daily News. ”Donaghy has…mastered the Chekhovian tactic of having people say everything except what's on their mind.“ —Village Voice. ”Wonderfully intriguing. There's a freshness to everything [Donaghy] does which lets you hang on every word, savor every incident. New York Post
