Press
“A bold, blunt orgy of lust, mind games, and self-absorption. Very few contemporary plays capture the American obsession for overanalyzing every aspect of sexual relationships as perfectly as Brian Dykstra’s Forsaking All Others.”
“A dizzying free-fall both fascinating and sickening to watch.”
“A Mamet-like twisted game of moral jeopardy.”
“If you were disappointed by Channel 4’s ‘Sex
and the City’, you may well find what you are looking for in
Brian Dykstra’s Manhattan-set, Mamet-ish new play… fascinating …intriguing…a
mesmerizing merry-go-round of absorbing New York narcissists...all
highly plausible and engrossingly depicted. The result is a less clinical,
more visceral version of Patrick Marber’s Closer.”
