Here is how the LA Times described this Obie-award winning play in its review of our 2008 production:
“‘A bad penny always turns up’ is a platitude that packs an unexpected existential punch, at least in the sardonic world of New York playwright Mac Wellman. In Wellman’s Obie Award-winning short play, the titular “Bad Penny” opens a portal to the metaphysical abyss that yawns beneath the banality of a summer’s day in Central Park — and, by extension, beneath a society shaped by clichéd thought.”
The Times went on to highlight how director Frédérique Michel's production was “Staged with an austere pitch to the intellect” They also praised the performances, saying that while “Wellman’s witty, abstract use of language is consistently challenging... The ensemble delivery is clear and capable.”
Backstage West's review noted that while the piece feels “enigmatic... director Frederíque Michel gives it an able cast and an elegantly impeccable production, and Charles Duncombe’s handsome set uses projections to suggest the changing seasons.”
