Praise for After the Revolution

“As its fiery title implies, After the Revolution has more on its mind than recycling familiar grievances for a couple hours of entertainment . . . A smart, engrossing play.”

—Charles Isherwood, New York Times

“Amy Herzog’s smart, finely written After the Revolution is a shrewd, ironic meditation on what we do with history, how we appropriate it for our own psychological needs. Among the play’s many pleasures—a firm grasp of historical paradox, sharp dialogue—the most satisfying is the way the characters struggle through their differences to listen to one another. The ability to listen is, perhaps, the definition of love.”

—John Lahr, New Yorker

“After the Revolution is a smart, funny and provocative play. Herzog deftly avoids simple-minded polemics in favor of richly detailed people who are as ready to examine their relationships as they are their consciences . . . Written with an extraordinary balance of insight, humor and surprise, it’s totally engaging.”

—Frank Rizzo, Variety

“The intelligent, warm After the Revolution is sharp, funny and emotionally wise. This cantankerous, political family is one you’ll want to spend time with—indeed, it’s one many New Yorkers will feel like they already have.”

—Jesse Oxfeld, New York Observer

“Amy Herzog’s After the Revolution sounds, from both its title and plot synopsis, like a political drama. But while politics are most definitely involved, at its heart it’s a family story of generational conflict. And as delivered, it’s a damn good one.”

—Erik Haagensen, Backstage
