"...Overall, the action proceeds hesitantly, almost apologetically; for an issue play, its issues never have much punch. The abstract set by Stephanie Kerley Schwartz, an odd choice for a realistic script so grounded in its landscape, contributes to the vagueness."

"...The plot is complex, infused with Stoppard's brilliant verbiage. All the elements, direction, writing, acting, costumes, set design, lighting, and music are divine, making for once again a first rate production at Theatre West."

"...Skillfully acted and directed, Nice Things also benefits from Stephanie Kerley Schwartz's nifty sliding set design and from Nicholas Santiago's video design."

"...Elina de Santos (director) was a good choice to man (or in this case "woman") the helm for this one. She is not only a passionate director but has a knack for allowing some of her emotions to help with her directing style. The production moves nicely and the stage set done by the RM stage set "Queen" Stephanie Kerley Schwartz was stark and hard, matching the theme well. The character development was spot on and I liked the interaction between all three women, even though there relationships were very different."

"...This play, had it been mounted better and if it had a better cast, might have provided a provocative evening. As it is, however, the cast mostly mumbles their lines and delivers them as if they were still learning them."

"...A strong, nicely-matched cast of four playing well opposite, and with, each other; firmly directed at a steady clip by Elina de Santos; and presented with top-notch production elements make Nice Things a very nice 85 minutes of entertainment."
