“DELICIOUS...DELIGHTFUL...resurrects this droll Alan Ayckbourn comedy from the 1970s to near PERFECTION, thanks to spot-on timing and delicious understatement by everyone involved.

Describe a play as featuring four couples and three bedrooms, and something ribald might come to mind, but whatever temptation there was to go over the top here was admirably reined in by director,

Jenn Thompson."

- The New York Times

 

"A FIRST-RATE Revival!...Every one of the actors is on target. The four married couples depicted in the three bedrooms juxtaposed on the stage may be plunged into individual and suddenly overlapping problems. But while they are, director Jenn Thompson and her acting octet are having a high old time slapping those conflicts into stinging, ringing life.”                                                                                      - TheaterMania  

                                                                                          

"Bedroom Farce makes a welcome return to the New York stage...the title and the three- bedroom set might lead one to expect a frantic, door-slamming farce in the Noises Off vein, but Ayckbourn and

director Jenn Thompson have something more subtle in mind. For all its complicated architecture, the play is primarily a droll observation of human behavior under stress. Thompson keeps things moving at a lively but unhurried pace.”

"SUBLIME Revival! SUPERB performances all around... Ayckbourn is an author who knows what he wants to achieve, and a sharp cast under SOPHISTICATED  DIRECTION by Jenn Thompson helps him succeed. The beauty of this staging is that the approach is relatively restrained, allowing the dialogue, the situations and the characterizations to speak for themselves instead of succumbing to a temptation for hectic overplaying in which bedroom-concerned shows often indulge”
