A wonderful new work…of serious whimsy, of glittering style and dark substance…THE VIOLET HOUR balances heights of wit with depths of feeling. —NY Times.

May just be Greenberg's finest…The play is continually amusing, but also deeply touching. —Variety.

Richard Greenberg's luminous, mysterious, emotionally churning tragicomedy, THE VIOLET HOUR, is a wondrous piece of work…This is the kind of bewitching play that makes theater a world unto itself. —Chicago Sun-Times.
