Press Reviews

"Scathingly well-observed dialogue, damning (and redeeming) character twists, clinical distance, and hysterical passion…DISCONNECT aptly lauds values other than success…fascinating and engaging….” —Time Out New York. “Funny and ambitious…impressive…exhilarating. DISCONNECT is that rare show that takes its message—that humanity is not getting better at communicating, even while inventing new ways to do so—seriously, but does not take itself seriously. There are not many other shows around that can make you laugh and think at the same time.” —NYTheatre. ”A thoughtful consideration of a man's midlife crisis that goes beyond mere personal issues to illuminate America's ugly corporate mindset. Lively…intelligent…realistic and first-rate."
— The Star-Ledger (NJ)
