Reviews
"Fascinating Stuff! An experience that American theatre-goers probably almost never get. The Australia Project II exposes us to interesting and articulate playwrights from Down Under who are not afraid to say what they think vis-a-vis the U.S.A. and that's such a good thing. A brisk, swift, and necessary punch in the gut that's both very funny and very much on target...a potent examination....strong performances [and] expert direction."
-Martin Denton, nytheatre.com
"Theater should do more than entertain, it should also inform... every monologue is laced with ideas, every character with opinion, and every play with unique perspective. In the strong first week of The Australia Project II: Australia Strikes Back!, four playwrights give us their view of America, a full two hour sample of various styles and wonderful ideas."
-Aaron Riccio, New Theatre Corps
