Annapurna Reviews
Los Angeles Times- Recommended
"...From White's poignant script to Bart DeLorenzo's faultless direction to Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman's beautifully centered performances, "Annapurna" is a lovely theatrical construct from the ground up."
Variety- Recommended
"...As embraced by Nick Offerman in a performance that's breathtaking in several ways, there's barely a breath of optimism left in this recluse-alcoholic-misanthrope-poet's abused lungs."
LA Weekly- Recommended
"...Because this is, in the end, a love story with a pulse and a poeticism strong enough to prevail over its minor contrivances."
Edge- Recommended
"...This heart-wrenching story of love and loss will capture you from start to finish. Whether this is a crushing embrace or a welcome caress is entirely up to you."
Stage and Cinema- Recommended
"...Be that as it may, the script's heavy-handed shortcomings do not derail the production. Under the astute, level-headed direction of Evidence Room's Artistic Director Bart DeLorenzo, the "married-in-real-life" team of Offerman and Mullally is riveting to watch."
The Hollywood Reporter- Somewhat Recommended
"...Director Bart DeLorenzo has lavished his customary love on the show, the players and the crafts, so well-marshaled to create an impression that the stakes are more real than the writer has succeeded in making them."

"...What unravels is funny, edgy, and masterful. The play is only at the Odyssey for a period of six weeks and I think tickets will be scarce. So celebrities aside or maybe because of the chance to see this couple act together, hurry to get yourself some tickets."

"...It's an intriguing premise, but the play itself left me cold."
Total Theater- Recommended
"...Sharr White's riveting two-person play, Annapurna. pits burned-out poet Ulysses (Nick Offerman) against his ex-wife, Emma (Megan Mullally), who has unexpectedly shown up after having walked out on him twenty years ago (for reasons that aren't revealed until the climactic moments of the play)."
Grigware Blogspot- Recommended
"...Megan Mullally and husband Nick Offerman under Bart DeLorenzo's steady hand work a sometimes pleasurable, oft times painful but worthwhile 90-minute encounter that puts a whole new spin on marital fidelity."
The Los Angeles Post- Recommended
"...The odyssey continues to be a jewel, and it demonstrates the commitment from Ron Sossi and his whole staff. Annapurna is another stellar example of their outstanding vision of theater in Los Angeles."
