Behind the Scenes
Play Reviews
"Terrence McNally is a probing and enduring dramatist. A resonant elegy for a ravaged generation, MOTHERS AND SONS wears its significance defiantly." —NY Times "Eloquent, exceptionally timely and intensely resonant. A moving reflection on a changed America." —Chicago Tribune "A masterpiece. Terrence McNally is one of the greatest contemporary playwrights the theatre world has yet produced. MOTHERS AND SONS is profound. Heartbreaking. Triumphant." —NY Observer Production Reviews
"Vermont Stage’s 'Mothers and Sons' is a powerful and beautiful statement about family." --The Times Argus "The 2013 Tony Award-nominated play by Terrence McNally is so forceful that the audience is likely to feel both drained and energized by the time the play ends (on a note that’s too tidy for a play depicting messy lives). Director Gregory Ramos keeps the script’s knife-edge text and the four excellent Vermont Stage cast members on task, never letting up on the intensity." —Burlington Free Press "Director Gregory Ramos establishes a perfect pace — slow enough to let each confrontation reach full flower, but fast enough to feel consistently energetic." --Seven Days |
