Press Reviews

"…eloquently dramatizes questions of responsibility, guilt and pathology…the complex moral issues are translated into challenging story theater, like a cubist portrait of grief…Homage must be paid, this grieving mother cries to the stars, and Medoff answers her prayers. And ours.” —Los Angeles Times. ”As the play winds through its complicated maze of ideas, it hits emotional bull's-eyes at every turn…In THE HOMAGE THAT FOLLOWS Medoff has written an intelligent and provocative play about some of the most troublesome aspects of the human condition.“ —Albuquerque Journal. ”Life and death, in all their overwhelming inexplicableness, are presented with blunt, riveting clarity in Mark Medoff's THE HOMAGE THAT FOLLOWS…HOMAGE is, ultimately, an affirmation of the future. Medoff's pessimistic tone, common to much of his work, is countered with tiny celebrations of life, inner applause."
