The Oxford Roof Climber's Rebellion Review Highlights

 

"In Stephen Massicotte’s excellent new play, “The Oxford Roof Climber’s Rebellion,” the two veterans are T. E. Lawrence and Robert Graves, and it takes no leap of the imagination to translate their World War I experiences into stories from today’s newspaper." - New York Times

 

"A round of brain exercise at once invigorating and thoroughly satisfying." - Windy City Times

 

"The many threads of Massicotte's play are elegantly and effectively woven into a dual character study and a slice of history drama that should be required viewing for some of our political leaders." - CurtainUp, NYC

 

"I was so impressed with the play that I bought the script." - North Country Public Radio,Ottawa

 

"Massicotte's play is an ambitious and multilayered work that succeeds on several levels: as a character study of two remarkable men, as a treatise on war and its aftermath, and as an examination of a historical moment whose reverberations unhappily echo in our lives today." - Backstage, NYC

 

"A lovely little play that manages to say a whole lot about friendship, responsibility, innocence and the utter futility of war." - Toronto Sun

 

"This is a welcome engrossing work that vividly depicts the friendship (and possibly more) between T.E. Lawrence and Robert Graves as the two share common adjustment problems after the horrific experiences of both men in 1920." - ChicagoCritic

 

"In all, “The Oxford Roof Climber’s Rebellion” more than lives up to its ambitious dramatic arc. This is an apt history play, with lessons from the past for those who will heed them." - Arts Examiner, Chicago
