PRESS
"Perhaps the most powerfully heartbreaking performance in the production is that of Bill Barry as Biff, Willy’s conflicted, angry, and directionless son. The real catalyst of the play, Biff is also the only character that may have any hope of salvation. As Biff, Mr. Barry’s fight to break through the delusions inherent in his life, to face reality and come to grips with it, and the resolution of his conflicted feelings for his father, is raw, honest, and deeply moving." [Brooklyn Daily Eagle]
​“There is seriously good acting going on at Studio Playhouse, in ‘Appropriate’ by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins. ‘Appropriate’ is the kind of play nobody should attempt without a Toni (Deshja Driggs-Hall) who can modulate between anger and pain and humor quickly and plausibly, without a Bo (Bill Barry) who can show despair and hope and anger, and with both showing the intimacy and rage of grown siblings that never leaves them. Driggs-Hall and Barry shine...Barry’s Bo feels long-suffering, trying to be kind, and more on a wire than he can let on, yet we see it in every eye roll. Together they are electric and exciting.” [Montclair Local]
