  • Visiting by Ed Proudfoot
    17 Mar. 2018
    “ Perhaps one of the primary values of this play is that it could allow members of families in the audience to understand each other without having to live out identical confrontations. Another value is that, by fully acknowledging the difficulties mental illness causes, Visiting actually earns the right to call its ending life-affirming. It’s not simplistic and we don’t get the feeling that it’s a happily-ever-after, but it does show that mentally ill people have a lot to live for and can enrich the lives of others.

  • Chewing on Beckett by Ed Proudfoot
    17 Mar. 2018
    “ Kudos to playwright Ed Proudfoot who’s skillfully captured the language and all the bleakness and tragicomedy of human existence that’s so integral to the plays of Samuel Beckett. He’s balanced the overwhelming despair against just the right amount of black comedy, while keeping the play and its small cast of characters as minimal as the absurdist Irish playwright. - Recommended - Chicago Theatre Review - Colin Douglas
