THE RECEPTIONIST

"A twisty comedy... Mr. Bock's poison Post-It note of a play."

 The New York Times

"Bock's intense initial focus on the routine goes to the heart of The Receptionist's pointed, painfully timely allegory...elliptical, provocative play..."

 Time Out New York

THE THUGS

"Bock starts you off laughing, but leaves you with a chill..."

 Time Out New York

"...a delightfully paranoid little nightmare that is both more chillingly realistic and pointedly absurd than anything John Grisham ever dreamed up..."

 The New York Times
