"...Eric Reyes Loos has written a wonderful play. That he reveals so much about himself is the sort of thing people think of as "brave." And it is. But what's braver is doing the work that makes it possible to explore such personal things so effectively. And by "the work," I don't mean psychological or emotional reflection. I mean the writing itself. Nothing about the writing here feels random or scattershot, even when the character Eric is at his silliest. It takes years of practice to make a play feel this effortless."

"...A man-sized cockroach with the body of a gay porn god offers a cock-addicted aspiring TV writer unexpected aid in dealing with his father's imminent death in Eric Reyes Loo's raunchy, risk-taking, emotionally rewarding dysfunctional-family dramedy Death And Cockroaches, a Chalk Repertory Theatre World Premiere."
