“ With humor and pathos, Robin Rice presents us with that person we all either don’t think twice about or avoid completely, without laying on the guilt or making an apology or excuses for who they are; it’s both sad and yet fitting their best friend becomes something usually even more unwelcome than they are. Sad, funny, and a dagger to the heart, all in a minute. ”

“ JESUS GOD! This is so wrong it’s right, and so damned funny I nearly choked. Great sendup of kid’s TV, and I’ll bet it’s as much fun to perform as it is to read/watch. ”

“ Levine nails more than 60 years of experience in less than 60 seconds of playing time, and does it beautifully. A winner. ”

“ Uproariously arch and with typical Sicklesian flair, FROM THE TOP's Rashomon-Like structure joins other works which view the same events from different perspectives – most notably Alan Aykborn's THE NORMAN CONQUESTS as well as that farcical theatrical valentine, Michael Frayn's NOISES OFF – and more than holds its own; funny, frantic, brilliantly plotted, and oh so smartly glib, underneath the shiny surface there is a true pathos and heartbreak which give the work its dark emotional sheen. A terrific accomplishment. Score another one for Sickles. ”
