"THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV has
been my steady companion since opening night. It's a dazzling,
existential whodunit about patricide, the existence of God and
the anatomy of human nature.
Clarvoe is among contemporary
American dramatists pioneering a different path along common
ground, that uses American experience, language that is both rich
and familiar, behavior that is both complex and identifiable, to
find a non-threatening yet provocative and challenging way into
the classics."
Jackie Demaline, The
Cincinnati Enquirer
"Clarvoe's carefully
wrought play is richly layered, with bold comedic touches
leavening the serious themes.
THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV addresses
the mind, the spirit and the funny bone, and will not quickly be
forgotten."
Patricia Corrigan, St Louis
Post-Dispatch
"Clarvoe's ability to take
moments of the past and make them highly magnified, slightly
unfocused and yet strangely rational views of today, has been
shown before; his plays THE LIVING and SHOW AND TELL had
successful productions...."
