Press Reviews

"Jeffrey Sweet over the years has become really a masterful playwright. Always brief, pithy, he has now developed a style of concentrated dialogue in which there is not an extra syllable, and in which the key emotional moments and ideas are punched out almost with a ferocious energy. I really recommend THE ACTION AGAINST SOL SCHUMANN. It is intense, serious, highly theatrical, entertaining.” —WBEZ, NPR Chicago. ”…one of those deliciously meaty stories with complex characters and a substantial plot that surprises you at every corner. If THE ACTION AGAINST SOL SCHUMANN were a novel, you'd stay up all night just to finish it.“ —New City. ”Victory Gardens—the 2001 Regional Tony Award® winner—champions realistic Chicago voices such as Jeffrey Sweet, whose ACTION AGAINST SOL SCHUMANN last season chilled and moved."
