[tab_group][tab title=’Awards’ text=’Top 10 of 2013, Frontier Psychiatrist<br/>Honorable Mention for Best of 2013, Time Out New York’][tab title=’New York Times’ text=’CRITICS PICK! “What makes this taut play so impressive is not that it makes us understand and even like a dangerous ape, but that it does so while imagining him as an obnoxious jerk… Staged by Moritz von Stuelpnagel with a deadpan naturalism, the laughs (and there are many) have an edge.”‘] [tab title=’New York Post’ text='”Under Moritz von Stuelpnagel’s restrained direction, the brilliant Steve Boyer gives Trevor a mix of endearing goofiness and pent-up frustration that can quickly bloom into full-on rage.”‘] [tab title=’Time Out New York’ text='”Sublime tragicomedy… Sweet, clever and weirdly touching… Trevor’s absurdist admixture of showbiz satire and real-life poignancy is continually delightful and resonant… von Stuelpnagel explores this disparity with unassuming aplomb… Funny though it is, Trevor is good for much more than a laugh.”‘] [tab title=’Village Voice’ text='”Trevor shows these self-loathing struggles, successfully touching on the goofy and poignant moments they bring… This contrast is heightened, creating an underlying uneasiness.”‘] [tab title=’New York Press’ text='”A clever, subversive comedy… There are plenty of gifts to be found in Trevor, lovingly nourished by director Moritz von Stuelpnagel… A layered production… Stuelpnagel is a perfect match for Jones’ voice, which sometimes plants tongue in cheek but still finds a way to home in on universal concerns. A streamlined show, Trevor toes the line between mordant humor and self-seriousness with aplomb.”‘] [tab title=’New York Theatre Review’ text='”A bracing dark comedy. Director Moritz von Stuelpnagel has shaped this wild play with a steady hand, and clearly created a strong structure for his fine ensemble.”‘] [/tab_group]
