2013 | R.U.R. and The Truth Quotient

"Both of these works are well-written with fascinating, thought-provoking concepts...The acting, whether human or robot, is superb, and the direction is tight...Treat yourself to both – the future is, was, and may be right before your eyes." — ELJnyc.com

"Mr. Manley keeps this story from straying into Twilight Zone territory by skillfully supplying subtle twists and an ending that is both surprising and perfectly apt...It's great to see a rarely revived classic staged with such great care...Both plays should be seen as they enhance one another and provide insights into our clamor for more and more technology." — Theatrescene.net

"The Truth Quotient is well-paced by Parness...Manley raises interesting questions about the nature of faith, trust and love..." — Associated Press (The Truth Quotient)

"Director Eric Parness is also a genius at maneuvering the thoroughly talented cast...By all means, take a date to this engrossing play, or take your parents." — NYTheatre.com (The Truth Quotient)

"Have I got a treat for you...reimagined and restructured for our times by Lee Eric Shackleford...the play remains faithful to Capek's masterpiece...It's excellent." — Liz Smith, wowowow.com (R.U.R.)

"This production is worth the time for those interested in going back in time to see one of the great wonders of world theatre." — Examiner.com (R.U.R.)

"I'm thrilled that this company exists...it's a unique idea...it gives both new playwrights a chance to shine and also puts the spotlight on plays that have been neglected...I do advise getting to see not one of these plays, but both of these plays, to compare and contrast." — Peter Filichia, BroadwayRadio.com
