Press Quotes
“… LET’S PLAY TWO, Anthony Clarvoe’s surprisingly affecting romantic comedy. Mr Clarvoe’s low-key two-hander … The play, about a young woman made pregnant by an even younger man whose constancy she doubts has something to say about the notion of maturity. As demonstrated by the example of sweet-tempered Phil, that quality is perhaps measured best not by the hardness of one’s calluses but by one’s willingness to acquire new ones. This may not be the most revolutionary concept ever considered on the American stage. Still, it’s no shame to have basic human decency reiterated as a value now and again, especially when it is elucidated as compassionately as in LET’S PLAY TWO.” —Peter Marks, The New York Times
“Once in a while a play comes along that is so fresh, so different, so delightful, so damn charming it defies definition. You can’t put your finger on what it is; but you sit there in the dark with a smile on your face from beginning to end, and talk about it all the way home. LET’S PLAY TWO is just such a play … It’s a simple story, really, about two totally opposite characters falling in love. That’s it. That’s all. But there are more spins on the development of their romance than there are on a champion pitcher’s baseball. And it’s their passionate love of ‘the country’s national pastime’ that brought them together in the first place.” —Shirle Gottlieb, Drama-Logue
