What some of the critics have said about The Hallway Trilogy...

"To watch 'The Hallway Trilogy' by Adam Rapp is to enter an alternate universe.... a carnival of the desperate, the grotesque, the outrageous. [It] contains some of Mr. Rapp's most sensitive and mature writing...[and] exciting casts of talented young actors. "

Charles Isherwood, The New York Times

"Four Stars. Packed with solid writing and suspenseful plotting...Rapp remains a true man of the theater and a potent writer."

David Cote, Time Out /NY1

"Tense, moving, disturbing and often funny or sardonic, with underlying mystery, hostility or violence, depending on the era."

Jennifer Farrar, The Associated Press

"[A] superb ensemble cast."
Elisabeth Vincentelli, The New York Post

'Rapp's crowning achievement...an energizing, delightfully anarchic kick in the pants to a rather sleepy theater season."
Jason Clark, Slant Magazine
