PRAISE FOR BARBECUE

“Siblings are held together and divided by addiction in Barbecue, Robert O’Hara’s new play . . . My idea of an American classic, or the kind of classic we need.”

—New Yorker

“This is a look at an America where real-life behaviors take their cues from reality TV . . . Barbecue is an examination of a new historical moment, filmed, framed, televised and tweeted, in which everything is in performance.”

—Hollywood Reporter

“O’Hara has written a comedy about getting reality to fit the truth we’ve previously constructed for it . . . A meditation on lying and how we all do it when we construct the narratives of ‘us.’”

—NBC

“O’Hara is a genius at scene-building, that deceptively difficult art of dancing backward and forward at once, and is also inerrant at locating the social experience of his plays at the intersection of voyeurism and minstrelsy . . . A hysterical new play.”

—Vulture

“A brash, taboo-flouting roast of race and representation.”

—Time Out New York

“O’Hara has proved he can pull a rabbit out of a hat. Barbecue is lousy with rabbits—and laughs . . . There are so many surprises in Barbecue that not much can be said about its content without giving them away.”

—Entertainment Weekly
