Press Reviews

"A brutally witty indictment of contemporary culture's gender and sex stereotypes as well as a probing commentary on what constitutes change, art, family, love and loss. “Many moments of wit, insight and honest beauty…it very definitely moves.” —New York Post. “[WALKING THE DEAD] overflows with cleverness, from its blippy leaps in and out of conventional story-telling to the bright-colored verbal cascades that decorate its emotional peaks.” —Village Voice. ”In an era of intelligent plays without much emotion and emotional plays without much intelligence, Keith Curran's WALKING THE DEAD has both, in abundance. It's a big and generous work, bursting the seams of conventional plot, structure and style, refusing to be contained."
