Media

"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." - TheaterMania
