    Press Quotes

    The critics on David Wiltse’s plays:

    THE GOOD GERMAN: “David Wiltse’s THE GOOD GERMAN, which made its New Jersey premiere last week at the Madison theater, is an extraordinary piece of writing … Simply put, it’s best play I’ve ever seen there and quite certainly the most powerful drama seen in North Jersey all year … Wiltse blends the dramatic and moral elements like a master chemist.” —William Westhoven, The Daily Record

    A MARRIAGE MINUET: “… the kind of play that could change your life. Seriously. It made me want to give up smoking, and I don’t smoke. It made me want to weep and hug everyone in the theater. It made me a better person. I loved this play. This play made me want to be completely honest all the time.” —Eric Delp, Bradenton Herald

    SEDITION: “I was coming from David Wiltse’s new play [SEDITION] and my head was full of questions about America’s participation in that tragic, famously unnecessary conflict. A playwright who rattles the way you see things must be doing something right.” —Sylviane Gold, The New York Times

    “Wiltse is one of today’s most versatile playwrights, but although he refuses to be limited to one genre, he is consistent when it comes to creating memorable characters.” —Jackie Lupo, Scarsdale Inquirer

    Play Description

    Jane Austen's mastery of manners and morals is on full display in Christopher Baker's acclaimed stage adaptation of her beloved masterpiece, Pride and Prejudice. In the Bennet sisters' world, marriage is the prize, but for second-eldest, Lizzy, companionship trumps blind courtship. Enter Mr. Darcy, and one of literature's most iconic and tempestuous romances takes flight. Journey through a world quite unlike — and yet perhaps not so different from — our own, as Lizzy and Darcy learn that first impressions aren't all they seem, and that second chances can lead to answers that have been there the entire time.

    Potty Favors
    Georges Feydeau, translated from the French by Laurence Senelick

    Play Description

    Inspired by Feydeau’s wife’s obsession with giving the children laxatives, especially his eldest son, Jacques, every character is despicable for their moral cowardice and egoism, providing a hopeless (but hilarious) environment for child-rearing.

    Woyzeck
    Georg Büchner, English version by Kenneth Tigar
    $15.00–$15.95

    Play Description

    A groundbreaking masterpiece of the modern theatre. The play tells the tale of a poor soldier, a barber in the army, who is overwhelmed by the military and forced to become a human guinea pig for quasi-medical research. Consumed by jealousy over his lover’s infidelity, Woyzeck is driven to despair, to madness, and to murder. Poignant and grotesque, insightful and all-too-human, the play broke every theatrical mold of its time, paving the way for theatre as we know it today.
