“ A master work. Diaz-Marcano shows us a family on the verge of exploding, and then goes and shows us why for each of them, with tremendous empathy and heart. I appreciate the window into this world that he provides so compellingly. From moment to moment, it's fun, it's funny, it's tense, it's heartbreaking, and Diaz-Marcano keeps each emotion in mind, so that all are in play at any given time. A master class in context, subtext, identity and family drama. I keep using words like "masterful," and I mean every one. Simply beautiful. Grateful that Nelson shares it with us. ”

“ Fantastic play. Real, raw family dynamics. Kitchen sink drama of the kind we see with white families all the time, but never with Latinx. A great piece for those wonderful character actors who are tired of playing maids and gardeners. ”

“ World Classic borrows from many family classics, there are bits of Death of a Salesman, August: Osage County, and Long Day's Journey Into Night filtering through the narrative, but what prevents this play from being derivative are the particulars of Puerto Rican personalities and concepts of manhood, family, love, and relationships. Diaz-Marcano has created a modern Willy Loman, but he goes beyond that archetype to make a man who represents the full weight of the contradictions and agonies of the post-industrial world, where the working man has been not only forgotten, but discarded. This is a play for the ages. ”
