“A modest yet exquisite revival directed by Doug Hughes, it makes a rigorous case not only for Brian Friel’s pre-eminence as an interpreter of Irish national identity, but for the vitality of art in deciphering life.”
“Doug Hughes directs an exquisite production. Charlie Corcoran’s set… shimmers like nacre; Michael Gottlieb’s lighting… reminiscent of Caravaggio.”
—Helen Shaw, The New Yorker
“A graceful, sinewy revival…Broadway veteran, Seth Numrich, lends vigor and charisma to the role of Owen…John Keating’s droll, lamentable Jimmy Jack is a standout as is Erin Wilhelmi’s delicate but fervid Sarah and beautifully understated melancholy by the venerable Seán McGinley.”
—Elysa Gardner, New York Sun
