Theater critics fall in love
with St. Nicholas… |
| LA TIMES - CRITICS' CHOICE ! |
"Vampires or theater critics—which are more repellent? Tough call when they’re bloodsuckers, the lot of ’em—an opinion that Irish playwright Conor McPherson explored to often hilarious and always spellbinding effect in his early-career monologue gem.... Scott Paulin’s superbly-staged 2nd Story Theater revival stars Michael McGee. McGee’s perfectly inflected cadences sweep us up in McPherson’s signature combination of Irish gift for gab and intricate, tightly paced narrative form."
- Philip Brandes, LA TIMES

| LA WEEKLY - GO ! |
"Irish playwright Conor McPherson mirthfully paints a theater critic as a bloodsucker in his early mono-drama, which receives a standout revival by director Scott Paulin. Michael McGee does the honors as an anonymous, ego-bitten and self described "well-paid hack" (i.e. drama critic). McPherson's tinkering with the vampire myth is a clever literary sleight of hand, but the ease of his narrative and its animated density, the shades of humor and poignancy, and McGee's textured performance make for a terrific outing."
- Lovell Estell III, LA WEEKLY

| BACKSTAGE - CRITIC'S PICK ! |
"... All of helmer Scott Paulin's choices here make sense.... McGee spins the tangled tale and keeps us captivated and thoroughly convinced he's the hack writer from Dublin, the sot whom theatermakers feared, with quite the adventure to recount and, we hope, lesson to be learned about self-reflection."
- Dany Margolies, Backstage

"Under SCOTT PAULIN’s masterful direction, actor MICHAEL MCGEE coaxes out the beguiling music coursing through McPherson’s lines and commands hearty laughs from the audience."
- Greg Simay, BurbankNBeyond.com

"If you want to see acting at its very best, then you must see Michael McGee’s extraordinary performance at the SFS Theatre on Melrose. Director Scott Paulin does a dynamite job of directing."
