"A.R. Gurney's drama Later Life, which focuses on two individuals who meet later in life after having had a brief romantic encounter in their youth, is a blend of reflection and romance with bursts of offbeat humor that sometimes works beautifully while at other times feels at odds with the play's dramatic and emotional core. In Theatre Artists Studio's production, the cast deliver committed performances and the direction finds moments of real warmth and honesty. Gurney's writing is intelligent and full of truth, but the mix of farce and melancholy doesn't always blend smoothly." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
"This interplay between the static and the spirited, between emotional paralysis and the flicker of life just beyond reach, lies at the heart of LATER LIFE. Gurney’s structure, like Baris’s terrace, is architectural: each polite exchange a beam, each silence a wall. Yet within this carefully built house of manners, you can feel the ache of the unspoken. What emerges is not merely a story of missed romance but a quiet tragedy of a couple that equates safety with salvation." - Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
