“The acting is largely excellent…(Charles Isherwood, NY Times).” “The Liquid Plain is well acted, …and most rewarding…” (Jonathan Mandell, NY Theater). “Michael Izquierdo was excellent in his depiction of Cranston; he left you with mixed emotions on one hand feeling sympathetic for his plight, enraged when he took advantage of Adjua” (Mary Anitha Parris, NY Theater Guide). “A compelling drama in the story of John Cranston…(Zachary Stewart, Theatermania).
Isherwood (NYT), Mandell & others on “The Liquid Plain”“Emily Mann’s beautiful, complexly informed production at the McCarter Theater… makes the world views of Shaw seem so attuned… an entertaining coterie of male characters brought to life in… the fresh-faced young Frank Gardner (Michael Izquierdo), Vivie’s devoted sweetheart.”

But you can’t blame the friends. Dan is a paraplegic now, and he didn’t return to New York when he had said he would. And he’s drinking. The screenplay — by Mr. DiFolco and Sara Rempe — is intriguing, with expertly handled exposition…nice performances and nice work…”
