"...This is the kind of piece that needs to be deeply inhabited, but Lewis has prepared only a dramatic sketch. And the disparate company is unable to furnish what hasn't yet been fully imagined."

"...MOVING ARTS presents its Los Angeles premiere of E. M. Lewis' intriguing APPLE SEASON. Directed at a languid pace by Darin Anthony, the sparse explosive scenes really make their mark with the experienced acting chops of Rob Nagle and the vivid, versatile intensity of Liza Fernandez. This three-hander, as a part of a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere, relates the unpleasant situation of siblings Lissie (Fernandez) and Roger Fogerty (Justin Huen) as they grapple with the death of their abusive Father from Hell. Nagle totally inhabits Willy, the neighboring farmer to the Fogerty's apple orchard; as well as, the former teammate and only high school friend of the sullen Roger."

"...The central problem with Apple Season is the lack of surprises; it's far too easy to intuit what secrets will be unveiled. And there are gaps. Much of the dramatic tension revolves around the shadow of the abusive dad, but apart from our being apprised of his scurrilous act, and his grown children's antipathy towards him, we learn little of him: a faceless boogeyman who abused and terrorized his kids. There've been enough of these characters on stage and in film so that, without vivid details to bring this unseen predator to life, the drama becomes a by-the-numbers enactment."
