"...Undemanding playgoers may well find the proficient performances ample reason to go, but this "Duet" doesn't exactly sing."

"...But where Crothers could count on the titillation of her then-transgressive plots to keep her narrative tension torqued, the sheer banality of Campbell's overly familiar, soap-operatic conflicts – exacerbated by Jeffrey Wienckowski's muddy staging – all too quickly grows wearying."

"...Though not as memorable as the Road's best (Keith Huff's Pursued By Happiness, which also starred Clyde, comes immediately to mind), Flower Duet is still fine work from one of L.A.'s finest theater companies, and that alone makes it worth checking out."

"...Flower Duet by Maura Campbell has been given a puzzling send-off in its West Coast production mounted by the Road Theatre Company. But the play's trappings are no less puzzling than the thematic "Flower Duet" by Leo Delibe, a musical piece of heartbreaking, sonic beauty that inspired the playwright to pen this piece."

"...Superb casting and composition combined with top-notch production design, costuming, and Maura Campbell's tightly-sewn, tapestry-weave of a tale makes this final production of the 2014 season at The Road Theater Company one not to be missed."

"...Helmer Jeffrey Wienckowski manages to maintain an impressively fluid thematic flow through the play's eight scenes, including one flashback and two flash forwards, but does not manage to underscore or amplify anything meaningful in Campbell's text."

"...Watching Flower Duet is like watching a well orchestrated dance, it draws you into a world that is foreign, yet so familiar. NoHo is fortunate to have this play in its very popular and thriving neighborhood of live stage productions."

"...Playwright Maura Campbell briliantly shows how these hidden needs threaten to destroy both marriages. It's an intriguing play, with a Chekhovian view of modern relationships, where the image we project is in direct contrast with the yearning child within."
