Media Reviews

Rapp is very gifted, and, even rarer he has something to say . . . Stone Cold Dead Serious . . . is . . . brave, compassionate, and . . . breathtakingly moving. It is the work of a playwright who is forging a real voice . . . It's rendering of the shared language of loved ones illustrates how families can remain intimate even when they are in shards. It's depiction of a working-class America that is unable to dream of anything beyond enduring is as sincerely sad a commentary on our culture as I've seen in recent memory. And its fear for young people is, unfortunately deeply convincing. --Bruce Weber, The New York Times
