"[O'Neill] has done nothing much in the
American drama save to transform it utterly in ten or twelve years from a false world of neat and competent trickery to a
world of splendor, fear and greatness ... [he has] seen life as something not to be neatly arranged in a study, but
as a thing akin to a tornado, an earthquake or a devastating fire.''

"HUGHIE"
by Eugene O'Neill
"Directed at a nearly-mesmerizing pace that
lingers just long enough on each point to let the full flavor steep without seeming ever to have an artificial pause. Once
the show gets underway, the magic of live performance and artistry takes over and casts its spell. It makes you want more."

"A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN"
by Eugene O'Neill
"The nonstop, roundabout banter, full of ruses,
evasions and fluctuating moods, becomes both seance and exorcism with the strong performances. This is a challenging work,
both for the four actors and the audience. It requires work for the viewer to remain focused, to see the people behind the
masks created by the torrent of words. But it delivers rich rewards to those who pay close attention and get a glimpse into
the human heart. With all leading actors exuding an energetic, emotional honesty, a satisfying, almost sweet resolution packs
a wallop to send you out into the late night."

"LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO
NIGHT"
by Eugene O'Neill
"A spectacle
that draws the audience in and holds it tight. As theatre it can be riveting. The brain becomes activated and engaged as O'Neill's autobiographical masterpiece
takes shape and the depth of his personal anguish envelops you like the Long Island Sound fog his characters love. This production
manages to steadily build until time seems to be going faster the longer the portrait continues to manifest itself -- a not
insignificant achievement."
Michael Toscano
The Washington Post
"An impressive evening of theatre. The entire cast is simply
superb. They cast O'Neill's magic spell and (have been) guided into an ensemble
effort of note. The pace is just right.
The material is rich enough and fascinating enough to keep the audience engrossed.
It works."

"Paul Robeson’s collaboration with Eugene O’Neill launched his career in the performing arts and marked
a transition from the depiction of dehumanized caricatures of the Black male to fully human theatrical roles with dignity,
power, nobility and heroism. "
Paul Robeson,
Jr.
