Praise for

Oh! I Miss The War

“A sweet and startlingly kind show. The entire 55 minutes I watched Oh! I Miss the War, I felt lucky to have been in the room for it, live. Phillips is a compelling performer, who invests himself the whole way in every moment – every joy and every disappointment, every confusion and every revelation. It’s just delicious, honestly.

I unreservedly loved this show, for far more reasons than I have room here to explicate. But some deeply good and true and satisfying work happens on stage during Oh! I Miss the War, and I really encourage you to go and be there when it does.”

The Trunk

“…The cast is simply superb. They are all on a roller coaster to the unknown in this play. David John Phillip’s performance as the witty wordsmith losing his mind is gut wrenching. He is in one moment present and acerbic and the next a lost child in a panic.”

“David John Phillips is, literally, mesmerizing. Whether he is reminiscing, or confused, or slyly showing handcuffs from the trunk to Asher (who is straight), or laughing at himself, or attacking his former student (Maggie Champagne) who has come to take charge of his life, or feeding his cat, one cannot look away from his face. It is full of each moment as he constantly changes, and the intimacy of the space makes him even more magnetic. Seeing him work was like having the privilege of entering another’s soul.”

Cluster Fucked

“A highly original piece of theatre that does a brilliant job of presenting to its audience a critical perspective of the world of Big Data.  [It] should not be missed by audiences interested in the powers behind our technological world, and by theatregoers interested in new style of drama done well. Cluster Fucked delights.”
