REVIEWS:

"Sly, elusive, off-kilter comedy... Mr. Arbery's script is rich with laugh lines."

 The New York Times

"Wonderfully unsettling... Plano is a fiercely smart contemporary dream play."

 Vulture

"Experimental theater perfection... it's delicious to see a playwright binding genres so confidently (body-double horror and rueful family comedy), but the real pleasure is in how much Plano manages to bend how you perceive reality beyond the proscenium."

 Time Out New York

"Arbery's playfulness with language makes Plano a joy to hear... With Plano, Arbery introduces himself as an exciting new voice on the New York stage and a name to look out for."
