    Press Quotes

    The critics on David Wiltse’s plays:

    THE GOOD GERMAN: “David Wiltse’s THE GOOD GERMAN, which made its New Jersey premiere last week at the Madison theater, is an extraordinary piece of writing … Simply put, it’s best play I’ve ever seen there and quite certainly the most powerful drama seen in North Jersey all year … Wiltse blends the dramatic and moral elements like a master chemist.” —William Westhoven, The Daily Record

    A MARRIAGE MINUET: “… the kind of play that could change your life. Seriously. It made me want to give up smoking, and I don’t smoke. It made me want to weep and hug everyone in the theater. It made me a better person. I loved this play. This play made me want to be completely honest all the time.” —Eric Delp, Bradenton Herald

    SEDITION: “I was coming from David Wiltse’s new play [SEDITION] and my head was full of questions about America’s participation in that tragic, famously unnecessary conflict. A playwright who rattles the way you see things must be doing something right.” —Sylviane Gold, The New York Times

    “Wiltse is one of today’s most versatile playwrights, but although he refuses to be limited to one genre, he is consistent when it comes to creating memorable characters.” —Jackie Lupo, Scarsdale Inquirer

    Play Description

    A groundbreaking masterpiece of the modern theatre. The play tells the tale of a poor soldier, a barber in the army, who is overwhelmed by the military and forced to become a human guinea pig for quasi-medical research.

Poignant and grotesque, insightful and all-too-human, the play broke every theatrical mold of its time, paving the way for theatre as we know it today.

    George and Frederic
    Ruth Wolff
    $15.00

    Play Description

    A Play with Music — the music of Frederic Chopin. George Sand had many lovers — but the one to whom she was most attached, and who almost ruined her life, was Frederic Chopin. His illness and dependency, the rivalries of two artists living under the same roof, the conflicting demands of two careers, all these batter the relationship. But most damaging is what the affair does to her family. Sand is hailed as an icon of female liberation. In GEORGE AND FREDERIC we see what can be the consequences of that liberation. Her rebellious daughter, Solange, embraces the tenets of feminism as an excuse for wild behavior, eventually causing the final rift between her mother and her mother’s lover. To assert his own creativity in this maelstrom, Maurice, George’s doting and doted-upon son, creates puppets of each member of this explosive ménage, puppets who, throughout the play, comment wryly on all the heated goings-on with humor, irony, and wit.
