Critical response

Head Critic for The New York Times, Ben Brantley stated:
“Tasty, bite-sized comedies. Nimbly directed by Neil Pepe. Theatergoers nostalgic for the urbane, mind-teasing divertissements that once flourished Off-Broadway should leave happily hungry. A dream team.”

Melissa Rose Bernardo from Entertainment Weekly stated:
“Boisterous and fun [...] Coen couldn’t ask for a better production than this Atlantic Theater Company treatment.”

Linda Winer from Newsday Stated:
“Gleeful, thoughtful and darkly loopy. These new, lean pieces mark the serious stage debut of a shrewd and weirdly endearing comic voice.”
