Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons Reviews
Stage Scene LA- Somewhat Recommended
"...Brynn Alexander and Philip Asta ace two of the year's most uniquely demanding roles, aided and abetted by Cricket S. Myers' and Matt Richter's spectacularly detailed sound and lighting designs, in the United States Premiere of Sam Steiner's Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons. If only Steiner's vision of a dystopian future in which speech is limited to a hundred-forty words a day didn't defy credibility and logic at every turn."
Stage Raw- Not Recommended
"...Sam Steiner's wildly eccentric two-hander follows the relationship of Bernadette (Brynn Alexander) and Oliver (Philip Asta) as they struggle to exist in an Orwellian world on steroids, where the government limits the number of words citizens can use daily. It's an engaging premise with abundant potential, yet the playwright fails to explore it with commanding artfulness or coherency.*
Capital And Main- Somewhat Recommended
"...Director Jen Bloom does a respectable job of engendering dynamic from the two characters' interaction, but it's not enough to sustain interest. Jessica J'aime's costumes enhance Bernadette's appeal as a come-hither-but-not-too-close kind of paramour. Her performance is satisfactory if a bit stilted. Asta brings a good deal more substance to the vulnerable working-class Oliver, and together they generate an appropriate chemistry."
