“GOMPERS is Rapp’s most emotional and powerful
work to date, and its beautifully forged characters pack a significant emotional
punch and live with the viewer well after the final curtain.
GOMPERS…is a work with palpable heart and
authenticity.”
Chris Jones, Variety
“Adam Rapp’s unconventional characters flood the stage with such immediacy and
simple authority that it’s nearly impossible to ignore them or not care about
them.”
Alice Carter,
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
“Rapp revels in the seamy side of humanity and, while digging around in that
milieu, unearths a richly textured poetic prose style. The vibe I got was Elmer
Rice’s STREET SCENE populated by characters from Eric
Bogosian’s SUBURBIA.”
Ted Hoover, Pittsburgh

”Fiercely comic.”
