“CRITICS' PICK! A theatrical combo plate that proves unusually satisfying. Quietly moving, raucous, funny and unexpectedly touching, life’s darkest terrors and most visceral delights both play a role. It’s hard to keep from getting appropriately teary.”
— Charles Isherwood, New York Times“Unforgettable. Watching "A Small Fire," I almost felt that Adam Bock had written it to prove that we have, in New York, the best actors in the world.”
— Michael Feingold, Village Voice
“With an ear for true-to-life dialogue, an eye for deftly developed characters and a nose for narratives that never lead where you expect, Adam Bock excels at taking audiences to surprising places.”
— Joe Dziemianowicz, NY Daily News
