| Notes: | The New Yorker ". . .Playwright Tim Pinckney shows a keen talent for witty dialogue and the well-timed one liner in a depiction of gay culture that is happier and gentler than some of its predecessors."Time Out New York "What this strangely affecting play has on its side is sincerity and covert integrity. In a sea of bitchy, emotionally empty "gay" plays, Message to Michael is one of the kindest hearted I've seen. Pinckney has an unusually perceptive ear for discovering the humanity buried beneath snide, contemporary gay-speak."HX. . .Pinckney has created a piece without pretension, apology or spiritual aspirations. It's a fragrant, well-crafted tale."New York Post". . .a gay comedy which sends a message not just to Michael but to the New York Theatre. . .Gay can be happily merry these days."NEXT. . ."The year ends on a high note with Message to Michael". Village Voice ". . .a good deal of sharp eyed charm, and more than a little wit about gay men's' struggles to get a hold of a partner." | |||||
