“Well-crafted and poignant. JOY is entertainment done with style!”
Variety
“Positively giddy in its imaginative flourishes!”
New York Post
“JOY
takes audiences on an effervescently romantic ride!”
Back Stage
“Witty,
wry, tightly constructed and surprisingly affecting! John Fisher has a flair for
dialogue and a gift for narrative.”
Associated Press
“A
sweet/sharp roundelay charting several students’ tangled liaisons. More in tune
with Noel Coward or Woody Allen (especially MANHATTAN) than recent Gen X
studies, this precocious work suggests commercial instincts already honed well
beyond strictly gay audience appeal… Memorable lines zing out constantly; the
fourth wall is frequently crashed. It credits Fisher’s talent that these gambits
seem fresh rather than forced. JOY’s wit and charm shine brightly.”
