CRITICAL PRAISE FOR THE ARKY TRILOGY
"Moving, high-energy dramas of mental health, families, and urgent absurdity."-Publishers Weekly BookLife
"The reader will be anxious to one day see one or all of these plays staged in a theater. Until then, these pages provide a suitable window into Arky's Crazyland. A suite of innovative and emotional dramas depicting an embattled family."-Kirkus Reviews
"Mahalo is a masterpiece."-Robert Brustein, drama critic, Founding Director of the Yale Repertory Theatre and the American Repertory Company
PRAISE FOR DAVID EPSTEIN'S PREVIOUS WORKS
Wanted
"A fine, lovely and lyric madness . . . and at last it restores the art of the musical to the Off-Broadway theatre. . . . It's that rare thing, a show that is as funny as it is provocative. I recommend it wholeheartedly."-Clive Barnes, New York Times
"Love at first sight . . . Myth becomes cartoon, cartoon myth . . . Rooty-toot-toot gaiety!"-Walter Kerr, New York Times
"Rousing Theatre!"-Douglas Watt, The Daily News

Palookaville
"A sly, loping comedy . . . sweetly ironic with a skewed charm all its own."-Stephen Holden, The New York Times
