"...Director Cameron Watson delivers a remarkably authentic and poignant tale with his production of Heisenberg, a short play based on a rather unremarkable human relationship story. What is remarkable is that this intimate outing, which opened last weekend at Skylight Theatre, soars on a level I never thought possible after seeing it on Broadway and at the Mark Taper Forum (also here in L.A.), where producers wrongly assumed that the purposely elusive title means the play should be presented on a cosmic level (the Taper went so far as to redesign its house). Here, the pared-down design, the astoundingly impactful acting, and British writer Simon Stephens’ strikingly unpredictable play add up to an experience that does indeed hint at the cosmic."

"...While it might be difficult to understand how Stephens was inspired by a German physicist (who was a principal scientist in the Nazi nuclear program in World War II) to create such a tender piece, director Watson has a theory. In his program note, Watson says he believes that the playwright “is simply saying that we can’t and don’t know the ‘position and velocity’ of others. Until they smash into each other. And that is what happens to these two people. The universe, somehow, born out of randomness and chaos, aligns them.”"

"...Park benches are a favorite setting for 10-minute play exercises. Two characters, typically strangers, strike up a conversation and the audience gets to see where it goes. Heisenberg, a new play by Simon Stephens at Skylight Theatre, follows two park bench-meeting strangers off into the world for 90 minutes, and things do not go as expected."

"...Brilliantly told on Tesshi Nakagawa’s minimalistic scenic design consisting of wood platforms and simple tables and lit to enhance mood and create focus by Ken Booth, award-winning director Cameron Watson invites us to watch the story of two lost souls looking for human connection who bloom and blossom after randomly meeting in a world that seems to consistently separate them from others into perpetual loneliness."
