“When the American theater gains a new voice this original, this unexpected, you really must hear it for yourself,” wrote Frank Rich in his rave review of Marvin’s Room in the New York Times. He went on to call Marvin’s Room “one of the funniest plays of the year as well as one of the wisest and the most moving.” Indeed, part of the uniqueness of this very American play is that along with enormous humanity, Scott McPherson finds great wit in two characters dying, another suffering from three collapsed vertebrae, and still another who has been confined to a mental institution for burning down his house.

 

(Marvin's Room replaces Master Class which has been rescheduled for next season)
