“Is there any chance you will believe me when I tell you that
Marvin's Room, which was written by Scott McPherson, is one of the
funniest plays of this year as well as one of the wisest and most
moving? Maybe not. And that's how it should be. When the American
theater gains a new voice this original, this unexpected, you
really must hear it for yourself.”—Frank Rich, New York Times
"Written with a blazing, tender accuracy that grips you with the
force of revelation…"—Village Voice
"The themes of death, love, duty, care and service are frugally
intertwined in a play of considerable emotional resonance. Laughing
one minute, we are shuddering with a stealthy empathy the next.
Death has rarely seemed more interesting or love so complex."—New
York Post
