OUR MAN IN SANTIAGO
“WITTY AND PROVOCATIVE … a smart and humorous political farce and morality lesson that will leave you laughing, while contemplating the overwhelming allure of power, whatever the cost.” — DC Theater Arts
“RIOTOUS COMEDY… DELIGHTFUL… In this endlessly funny script, Wilding has left no comic vein untapped, and under the inspired direction of Charlie Mount, the cast is more than up to the task of milking every joke for all it’s worth.” — Stage Buddy
“THIS IS ONE TO SEE… [a] raucous, intellectually sophisticated, political-spy-thriller-comedy… The ensemble is marvelous. Their hijinks, especially toward the conclusion, bring belly laughs.” — Theater Pizzazz
“OH, OUR MAN, I LOVE IT SO… The show’s tagline states that it is a ‘New Comic Spy Thriller’ and it certainly is all of those… intelligent dialogue and plotting that offers some genuine surprises and unexpected turns… laughs, gasps, blood, murders, comp-lit perspectives and a side-splitting interpretation of the Nixon/Kissinger relationship.” — Stage and Cinema
“A FIRST-CLASS SHOW... The production value is really high, with an elaborate set and equally strong, delightfully low-fidelity sound and lighting effects that harken to the 70s. The script is full of tension to keep you hooked and enough comedy to draw a laugh… The five actors (transplanted to NYC from the original west coast production) are well-suited to their roles, including magnificent caricatures of Nixon and Kissinger that would make Rich Little proud… you can actually leave the theatre quite satisfied by its humor, drama and political satire.” — Opplaud
“PLENTY HERE TO ENJOY… benefits from having aboard the director and the entire cast from its previous well-received presentation at Los Angeles’s Theater West… takes us back to the good old days of the ’70s and (who knew, right?) the wacky comedy stylings of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, who are responsible for the show’s biggest laughs.” — Talkin’ Broadway
“ENTERTAINING… lives up to its billing as a ‘comic spy thriller’… snappy dialogue… an enjoyable show sturdily staged and played.” — Blogcritcs
“IMPRESSIVE AND COMPELLING… If you like political satire with a twist of espionage, look no further… unswerving direction and fine acting.” — Off Off Online
