Press Reviews

"Caught between reality and fantasy, Parnell's characters are both real, vibrant people, and at the same time, characters in a play of one of those people. When they are on stage—or not—they mirror the roles we all play. ”Parnell has mixed fantasy and reality…He's a whiz at up-to-the-minute jokes.“ — Newsday (NY). ”Peter Parnell is a remarkably clever playwright."
