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

Exact Change

"I haven't laughed so much in a theater all year. With Epstein's blackish sense of humor and wry relish of the odd, his play fizzes with talent."-Benedict Nightingale, The Times of London

"Chilling, brilliant . . . dialogue explosions propel the action through the roof."-Irving Wardle, The Independent on Sunday

Palookaville

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

"Terrifically enjoyable . . . with a strong sense of style . . . impressive feature film debut of David Epstein."-Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal
