The R S C and the Moscow Art Theatre have given us one of the most delightful collaborations of two minds, if not since Beaumont and Fletcher, then since Brenton and Hare were hard at the likes of BRASSNECK and PRAVDA…. A two-hour glasnost extravaganza… Extremely funny.

Time Out (London)

MISHA’S PARTY is set in Moscow during the 1991 coup. The play, though isn’t political; it simply shows a family of Russians gathering in a hotel restaurant to celebrate the 60th birthday of a man with an untidy past… The spirit of Chekhov is very much alive in the regrets, sadnesses and farcical nature of this interesting new play.

The Daily Telegraph

Top notch.

Sunday Express

A richly Chekhovian piece about exile and homecoming, and about regrouping of a dysfunctional family in a tottering regime.

International Herald Tribune

In his deft, unostentatious way Nelson was written a robust, healing comedy whose subjects include the pull of the past, the power of unreason and the problems of adjusting to an alien culture.

The London Times

A forceful…comedy of manners.

Evening Standard

Touching and novel, the play brims with the milk of human folly and a sense of the primacy of private feeling over public events. This is a play for thought as well as amusement.

New York Post

MISHA’S PARTY is a cause for celebration.
