Kay Kudukis of Broadwayworld.com writes, “So let’s just talk about [playwright] Larissa FastHorse’s play. It’s one of the funniest I have seen in a long time. The setups are brilliant, the dialogue is inspired, and it is so well crafted that it leads us to the most logically illogical and hilariously fitting endings I’ve ever had the pleasure of witnessing. Yes it is as convoluted as that sentence, but it is not a contrivance. If you pay close attention, you just might get what’s happening a few moments before everyone else and bark out a solo laugh like someone did the night I saw it. Might have been me.
“I have said this repeatedly, but I’ll say it again, Director Michael Shaw knows how to squeeze every last drop of comedy out of a play, and combined with the talent he’s got on that stage, this has got to be one of my favorite productions so far. And that’s saying a lot. I’ve loved most everything this company does, and if I didn’t love it, I still enjoyed it. Given the opportunity, I would watch this production of The Thanksgiving Play again and again – like I do with my favorite movies.”
