Press Reviews
"The best new American play in quite awhile.” —New York Post. ”Rob Ackerman's acidly funny TABLETOP is spot-on about the making of a television commercial.“ —New York Magazine. ”Captures, with admirable suppleness, both the easy good humor and the quicksilver contentiousness that mark longtime work relationships.“ —Newsday (NY). ”A fast-paced, often uproarious comedy.“ —New York Daily News. ”Encompasses idealism, compromise and illusion in an all too real world of mass manipulation.“ —The New York Times. ”Absolutely brilliant. One of the best shows I've ever seen."
— Don Imus, MSNBC
