Back of the Throat (St. Louis Actor’s Studio Mar 27-April 12, 2009):
- “Back of the Throat makes a significant statement as a part of the Actors’ Studio season on power and politics. I didn’t feel that I was watching so much as bearing witness to the Arab-American experience post 9/11. It is an intense evening of theatre, well worth attending.” – Andrea Braun, KDHX http://tinyurl.com/dc4upd
- “Alan David gives a lovely and moving performance as Khaled.” – Dennis Brown, RiverFront Times http://tinyurl.com/d93kso
- “By the time you’re 20 minutes into this tense drama at St. Louis Actors’ Studio, you may find yourself mentally reviewing your own desk or bedroom or medicine cabinet. What conclusions could people draw if they went through your things? What if they already had something they were looking to prove?” – Judith Newmark, St. Louis Post Dispatch http://tinyurl.com/da7eot
- “Back of the Throat is well written and well realized in this compelling production that will trouble both your mind and your heart.” – Mark Bretz, Ladue News http://tinyurl.com/cq33vm
- “David Wassilak’s direction is spot-on, with a good building of tension, and Patrick Huber’s set and light design work efficiently.” – Joe Pollack, KWMU http://tinyurl.com/d9yjfo
Titus Andronicus (Tin Ceiling Theater Dec. 5-21, 2008):
- “Titus Andronicus receives a compelling staging from director Robert Strasser”— http://www.riverfronttimes.com/2008-12-10/culture/dennis-brown-and-paul-friswold-suss-out-the-local-theater-scene-in-st-louis/2
- “Alan David, I think, stands out especially as the exquisitely villainous Aaron. Small, slender, agile, terribly focused, and with intense eyes and a wickedly beautiful smile, he is simply perfection in this role” — http://www.kdhx.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=8227&Itemid=364
- “there is fun to be had listening to some of the poetry, trying to figure out whether the wily Titus is really mad or just faking it, and watching it all play out” — http://www.playbackstl.com/content/view/8318/175/
- “There’s so little onstage that every single detail, every twinge of agony, hits home.” — http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/entertainment/reviews.nsf/stage/story/19C5F9F60548C4D28625751B00113F39?OpenDocument
