PRESS
"Bill Barry’s Victor, like the brother he plays, carries the lion’s share of the hurt. Barry’s slow roll to boil is truly masterful and is beautiful if yet painful to watch.” [Theater Beyond Broadway]
"The main strength is the cast, in particular Bill Barry as the non-favorite son who has not made much of his life. Barry is excellent. The role is an emotional roller coaster, and he acts the dips and climbs and twists and turns with total believability. Everything he does is real, and the performance centers the play beautifully." [ShowShowDown]
"Barry’s powerful and heartbreaking portrayal of Willy is the best I’ve seen. Rather than playing him as a blustery and angry blowhard as so many do, Barry shows us a man likely suffering from early dementia desperately trying to keep from losing his grip and doing his best to hide it from his family. His anger always seems to come from a place of fear or confusion and his love for his family is palpable even when he’s lashing out. He plays the gamut of emotions flawlessly." [TripAdvisor]
