Check out what the critics are saying…

“Rachel Bonds seems to know something about loss. Her play “Anniversary,” about a woman trying to find herself again after the death of a loved one, was a standout of the Ensemble Studio Theater’s one-act festival last June, and now “Michael & Edie” is proving that Ms. Bonds can sustain the sublime tone of the earlier play in a full-length piece.” —New York Times  (Read the FULL REVIEW!)

“Rachel Bonds’s original script is heartbreakingly beautiful at best and witty, funny, and honest at worst…This is an unexpected, truthful glimpse into life and my favorite kind of independent theatre. There is a sort of half-playful, half-wistful quality to the production that lends itself to an intimacy that would be lost on a larger stage, and is what makes off-off Broadway surprising and consistently worth it.”  —NyTheatre.com

“Dark, yet sweet, Michael and Edie is a fine piece of new theater….Rachel Bonds has written a play that is at once lyrical, contemplative and mournful.  Her interest in the passage of time and seasons is a theme beautifully explored in both text and tone, and then further developed in the production’s design and direction…there is no doubt that Bonds is a talented playwright, and The Greenpoint Division a company worth watching. I look forward to seeing their future work.” — OffOffOnline.com

“Told with delicacy and several inventive theatrical touches, it’s a play suffused with sadness…With several imaginative directorial touches, Robert Saenz de Viteri leads his cast of talented fresh faces on this journey for sensitive souls. Thompson’s Edie is almost too convincing in her sadness, while Micucci, given the difficult task of being the only life force in the play, is an affecting Michael.”—Backstage

“Bonds’ dialogue is often witty and well constructed, effortlessly flowing from the mouths of Micucci and Thompson… Director Robert Saenz de Viteri’s keen sense of staging and the inventive art installations by Hugh Morris further immerse us in Bonds’ world…” —Theatremania.com
