Press Quotes
“Matthew Lombardo’s smartly tangled drama is harrowing, highly amusing and a pleasure!” —The New York Times
“Theatrically exciting! … Entertaining with lively dialogue, powerful exchanges and authentic performances! … Nuns have been portrayed as righteous and wrathful but few so fiercely as Lombardo’s lioness of a sister!” –Daily Variety
“An electrifying experience! … HIGH is profoundly shattering and emotionally devastating! Lombardo’s writing gets better, stronger and more human each and every time! … HIGH deserves a long and vital life!” —Rex Reed, New York Observer
“Matthew Lombardo’s play offers an engrossing evening of theater! His writing saves the nonbeliever from discomfort by making his case in a framework of sincerity and passion, treading in the footsteps of Shaw’s SAINT JOAN. And, as long as we venture into comparative literature, there is a case to be made for saying HIGH is EQUUS on crack cocaine.” —San Francisco Examiner
“HIGH suggests no easy or comforting answers. Its characters may suffer, but the searing play suffers from nothing!” —Philadelphia Inquirer
