“…Adam Rapp’s brutal and funny play…
…The play’s aestheticrealism
with a dash of exaggerated dark humor, detailed observations of the pop-culture
world delivered with energy and immediacyare
familiar from Mr Rapp’s recent work in many forms. In the last few years alone
they have included the play RED LIGHT WINTER, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize,
as well as a fine small film he wrote and directed, Winter Passing, and a
witty coming-of-age novel, Year of Endless Sorrows.
AMERICAN SLIGO…bolsters his reputation as a
writer…
…as a writer he veers in a few unexpected directions, with new characters
popping up, and others revealing surprising layers….”
Caryn James, The New York Times
“…AMERICAN SLIGO, his
latest attack on the moral values and social conventions that define the
American way of life….
…Rapp hits his stride in the razor-cut pieces of dialogue…”
