Press Quotes
“Technology, hemlines and what people eat for breakfast may all change over the years, but paralyzing self-consciousness, at least in this century, has never gone out of style. Pirandello … is drama’s chief proponent of the sensibility, having written a long series of plays that doggedly ask questions about the nature of identity, reality and the very theatrical form in which these quandaries are examined. Mr Dobrish … has now adapted Pirandello’s EACH IN HIS OWN WAY (1924) as a gleeful romp of an exercise in relativity, existential doubt and artistic illusions … Mr Dobrish, in resetting this self-imploding story of love and revenge Italian-style in the world of small-time New York mobsters locates an appealingly adolescent energy in Pirandello’s reality-bending, perspective-warping drama games.” —Ben Brantley, The New York Times
“… Dobrish’s play is a lightweight, divinely madcap comedy that never takes itself too seriously, yet always seems to be striking at something a little deeper.” —Sam Whitehead, Time Out
