Reviews
  • “Buoyant, amusing, vivid, tangy, beguiling, engaging, and rawly funny.”

    — Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
  • “★★★★ Critic’s Pick! Bruce Norris is a master of peevishness and acrimony with bravura dialogue, perfectly set-up jokes, and juicy jeremiads. Pam MacKinnon directs a strong and frisky ensemble with her usual flair.”

    — David Cote, TimeOut New York
More Reviews
  • “A thrilling ride! Norris is a source of complicated pleasure. Very well acted and spiced up by smuttiness.”

    — Jesse Green, New York magazine
  • “More like a massacre than an orgy, and very possibly Bruce Norris’ best! The Qualms is as fully alive as Clybourne Park but dares to cut even deeper.”
