Reviews
"Pendleton has a leading role that wonderfully showcases his idiosyncratic and considerable talents. With his unruly white hair, limber physicality and distinctive vocal twang, he mines all of the humor and depth of this fascinating character.”

"One of the great thrills of attending off off Broadway theatre is the chance to see an actor like Austin Pendleton up close and personal in a small house. What other city in the world affords its audiences such an opportunity? Very rarely do actors of his stature appear in intimate spaces and when they do, audiences do very well to take advantage of their generosity.”
