"...The play raises questions on the nature of radicalism and appeasement that are more allegorical than immediate. Still, it takes you to another place and another time with considerable grace and humor."

"...Emotions run high and battle lines are drawn when family and political loyalties collide in CORKTOWN '57, a powerful new family drama by John Fazakerley having its World Premiere as a guest production at the Odyssey Theater. Tony-nominated director Wilson Milam (The Lieutenant of Inishmore) helms a distinguished ensemble cast whose ability to delve deep into the rampant emotions of their characters makes you feel like a fly on the wall, spying on a family in its darkest moments."

"..."Corktown ‘57" could be, with just a bit of rewriting, a very important play and a quality contribution to the American canon. Its initial production at the Odyssey Theatre is quite successful at doing its job, for any new play needs a compelling first production to take off. John Fazakerley will likely have a bright career ahead of him, and his voice shines brightly and passionately in this great work."

"...Fazakerley has created strong characters who are willing to fight to the death over their personal and ideological differences. This makes for good, strong, hard-driving drama. The playwright is also aided greatly by the first-rate production at the Odyssey, which starts with Joel Daavid's multi-level set and Leigh Allen's atmospheric lighting design, and goes on to include an accomplished cast (all of whom are utterly convincing in their roles) and the skillful direction of Wilson Milam."

"...Under Wilson Milam's masterful direction these events cover a few impactful days in 1957 when a naïve younger brother attempts to bring closure to a family rift. Nick Tate is unforgettable as the wily patriarch still seeking justice, and matching him in intensity is Andrew Connolly as the prodigal son."
