Colin Quinn - An Irish Wake (1998)


"At the foot of a set of steps, designed by Eugene Lee to resemble the stoops of Park Slope, Quinn spends a little more than an hour recreating the twisted universe of his late adolescence and invoking the small-town voices that echo on the insular blocks of the big city." - The New York Times

"If you grew up Irish Catholic in Brooklyn, Colin Quinn's solo show may send you into a secular state of grace, but this low-key visit to a neighborhood clan gathering to memorialize a local hero may leave others feeling uninvited to the party." - Variety

"For all the depth and polish, this is also the sort of lovingly handmade project in which everyone credited in the program thanks everyone they ever knew. The attitude is simple. The work is defiantly not." - Saturday Night Live
