REVIEWS:

"MacGregor is known for a few things in his plays, and he does not disappoint here: impeccable research, and turning that research into tight, witty storytelling; and writing dialogue that is as good as it gets in today’s theatre. The Antichrist Cometh is funny, thought-provoking, clever, and timely. Who can ask for anything more?"

 Encore Michigan

"A hilarious rollercoaster ride of apocalyptic proportions…uproariously entertaining…takes audiences on a sidesplitting journey through the realms of good and evil…with its clever blend of humor and unexpected plot twists, The Antichrist Cometh delivers non-stop entertainment."
