“Haar fires up a hip satire and lets fly with scores of lines that hit the mark.
It took fairy dust to get the children off the ground in J M
Barrie's Peter Pan
In The Darlings, Haar sprinkles
on black comedy to achieve levitation.”
Larry Parnass, Daily Hampshire Gazette
“Susan Eve Haar takes the point of view of the parents of the lost childrenwith
a distinctly modern twist. Haar's play is part
literary joke, part social satire, and part sketch comedy. The satirical target
is the lifestyles of the rich and narcissistic. These
Darlings are parodies of a certain class of all-too-easily recognizable
Americansmaterialistic,
solipsistic, self-satisfied but vaguely
dissatisfied with the lack of human connection in their lives.”
