"...But on the stage, "Awake," starring Barry with Joseph Culp (Don Draper's surly father in those stylish "Mad Men" flashbacks) and the lovely Tacey Adams, is a masterpiece of comic ensemble acting, a true triumph of style over substance."

"...Although sometimes outlandish in how it delivers its message, this cracked polemic's originality and full-throttle attack are unmistakable."

"...This talented cast's collective physical, vocal, and emotional lives are so wonderfully developed and riveting, that you won't want to blink lest you miss a theatrically fascinating moment."

- Beverly Cohn

Hollywood Progressive - Recommended

"...But this is a mere quibble, as the drama is excellently acted throughout and presents a cogent, if Kafka-esque, critique of corporate rule. All three actors are clad in business attire, and the bare stage is painted white, including a tree that is flanked by ivory benches. As a playwright and performer Barry proudly wears his roots as a Living Theater actor in 1963's The Brig and as a veteran of Joseph Papp's Public Theater and the Open Theater upon his sleeve."
