Praise for the plays of Halley Feiffer

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE GYNECOLOGIC ONCOLOGY UNIT AT MEMORIAL SLOAN KETTERING CANCER CENTER OF NEW YORK CITY

“A daring romantic comedy … Feiffer is one funny playwright.”

—Ben Brantley, The New York Times

“Feiffer’s work always has guts … powerful … But for all the farcical, caustic humor in the piece, this lovely play really is about a coming together in the spirit of shared humanity.”

—Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

“Funny, scary, and completely over the top in its own right … goes straight for the jugular through the heart.”

“Ms. Feiffer … is building a reputation for fearlessness.”

—Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times

“Thank God … for the warped creative mind of playwright/actress Halley Feiffer, who harnesses the weird to full, gory effect in How to Make Friends and Then Kill Them, an uproarious and deeply unsettling new dark comedy … Equally laugh-out-loud funny, jaw-droppingly gross, and thoroughly sad … Feiffer’s unique, refreshing voice is one to which attention should be paid.”

—David Gordon, Theatermania

“Disturbingly funny.”

—Joe Dziemianowicz, New York Daily News
