Reviews
  • “Goodbye feminism, lattes and the Internet! Hello, rigid gender roles, Sanka and rotary phones! Jordan Harrison’s MAPLE AND VINE has one of the most intriguing premises of the year.”

    — Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Post
  • “A clever, sharply drawn fantasy with brightly saturated comic performances. Makes a sneaky, compelling case for the seductions of living the Ozzie and Harriet life. A sleek production directed by Anne Kauffman.”
