The Reviews Are In

DC Theatre Scene - "Oh, what a fine nasty little play this is, as mean as a wolverine and as tight as a Chinese box puzzle! ... O’Reilly, as the pea-brained youngest son, paces himself brilliantly. One of the great pleasures of this play is to see comprehension slowly flicker across his slab-of-ham face."

The Examiner - "Under Linda Murray’s direction, all four of the actors give wonderfully understated comic performances"

Washington Times - "A boom economy brings out the best in everyone, right? Irish playwright Gerald Murphy mines the falsehoods riddling this truism in his bitterly funny comedy 'Take Me Away,' getting its American premiere at Washington's Solas Nua theater under the clear-eyed direction of Linda Murray."

City Paper - "Take Me Away feels too bland to make much of an impression."

Washington Post - "The brooding of these three lads and their braying, oafish da -- all of them tied in a mysterious knot over the condition of the matriarch we never see -- occasionally hits fine notes of blind stupidity."
