Press Reviews

"John Patrick Shanley's new play, PSYCHOPATHIA SEXUALIS is…a smart new comedy about men and their befuddlements and a shrink who may just be the personification of evil…The play's first half is perfectly poised between daffy comedy and believable human neurosis which Shanley combines so well that although you never know what wacky thing is coming next, you believe it when it comes.“ —Los Angeles Times. ”John Patrick Shanley's PSYCHOPATHIA SEXUALIS is a salty boulevard comedy with a bittersweet theme…Shanley's craft…is actually at high tide. Shanley has written what on the surface is a deft boulevard comedy, but one with thought-provoking depths.“ —New York Magazine. ”…It's great fun to watch the sparks fly and great scene material for auditions and classes.“ —Backstage. ”Shanley is a wicked writer…in the mouths of savvy socialites and other members of the Manhattan elite, his dense, witty prose sings. A tour de force of witty, barbed dialogue."
