| Now you're making me feel disappointed again to have missed this production. The play doesn't seem to have found a life in the regions. | |

| The play was (to my mind) sadly under-appreciated by critics, so I don’t think audiences ever really found it, which is a terrible shame. I don’t even think it extended its engagement at the small upstairs theatre at Playwrights. Maybe someday it will be rediscovered. | |

| This critic loved THE BIG MEAL, and I've linked below to my review for Backstage. I also voted for it on the first ballot for the 2012 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play, but, alas, I was the sole vote, so the play didn't make it to the later ballot rounds. | |

| I also enjoyed reading the review, Erik. I really loved that play, and I hope to get to see it in future productions, although I can't imagine any production would ever be better than, or even as good as, the one at Playwrights Horizons. | |

| I hope so. I'd love to see this again, with Anita Gillette if possible! Apparently it was done in Bristol, England in 2016...by a very young cast...The trailer has some charm... |
