Press Reviews

"Mr. Smith provides…scintillating imitations of period circumlocutions and Wildean epigrams.” —The New York Times. “In the UNEASY CHAIR…Evan Smith has created a bewitching little comedy of Victorian manners…Smith manages to convert a ridiculous situation into pure comedy made entrancing by its unerringly satirical command of the pompous lifestyle of middle-class Victorians."

— New York Post
