Reviews
  • “MARVELOUS AND FILLED WITH MARVELS. In the Stoppardian world of The Watson Intelligence, Madeleine George’s human, dramatic play takes surprising turns. Amanda Quaid, David Costabile, and John Ellison Conlee are excellent, and under Leigh Silverman’s bracing direction, pull off a good deal of magic. ”

    — Jesse Green, New York magazine
  • “FOUR STARS. A sweet and twisty time-tripping fantasy that keeps the seriocomic juices flowing. Refreshingly whimsical, Madeleine George’s play juggles several deep themes with grace, wit and intellectual verve. ”
