“A robust, exhilarating must-see performance by Michael O. Smith. A compelling narrative that is remarkably personal and richly dimensional. Smith inhabits TR fully, the line between actor and character is indiscernible. This richly textured reflection on a life is spun by a figure who is, at once, worldly and filled with childlike wonder, mischief and hope. This lion in winter still knows how to roar.”

“An extended metaphor for the way our society works. Panych magisterially blends naturalism with absurdist stylization, a fusion as arduous as joining tabloid journalism to classical poetry. And to do this while steadily keeping us at once wildy entertained and rivetingly enlightened is no mean trick. The production comes to us from the Chester Theatre Company; accordingly, we are unlikely to know the excellent director Byam Stevens and his flawless quartet of actors. One of this season’s happiest theatergoing experiences. Four Stars - Do Not Miss!”
