Bias Reviews
Stage Raw- Somewhat Recommended
"...But the script’s negligible flaws are not as much of a problem as the performances (This reviewer counted five glaring instances of flubbed lines.). Weil and Bell are steadfastly consistent and convincing in their roles, but Tazi is noticeably unpolished and tenuous in his performance. Andrée Mulia appears as April Waters, an advocate for the university in the legal proceedings, but her acting is just plain flat and uninspiring, as is Elabaji’s. Rounding out the cast is Sammie Wayne IV, as Judge Javier Ramirez and Morry Schorr as union rep Omar Bashar."
Larchmont Buzz- Somewhat Recommended
"...The true heart of Bias lies in Shulman’s M&Ms. Consider their different colors, their identical insides; they’re all the same, really, despite perceptible differences. Aren’t we just like them, at the end of the day? Shulman’s argument is not without merit, but it is rudimentary. Bias unfolds to overwrought effect because it underexamines bias itself. The chief value of this play can be found in its ability to provoke thought and pose questions, while its chief weakness lies in its inability to provide satisfactory answers."
The Hollywood Times- Highly Recommended
"...This is a play you shouldn’t miss; the acting is phenomenal, and the subject matter is relevant to today’s society. Art Shulman brilliantly highlights the issues we are facing, creating art that will resonate for decades. I believe that the professor’s background did not significantly influence his bias."
