"Beguilingly layered ... something to paste into your memory book of strange, wonderful and utterly unmatchable moments at the theater."--New York Times "[Eisenberg] has a wry ear and a knack for unsentimental poignancy that keeps The Revisionist emotionally compelling. And to his credit, he avoids the tidy, comforting ending."--USA Today "A quirky and ... heartbreaking meditation on the meaning of family, both across the generations and across the globe."--Associated Press "A potent consideration of the nature of family ... The Revisionist proves [Eisenberg] to be an imaginative playwright who's not afraid to ask his audience to work."--Backstage "The Revisionist, a tightly structured, deeply human play about the truthful mess of human experience, represents the best of what theatre as an art form can be."--Exeunt Magazine "A rewarding account of cultural collision that yields unexpected reflections on the centrality of family in our lives -- whether we idealize them or take them for granted... As a playwright, Eisenberg's intentions seem clear. He takes a critical swipe at himself, and by extension, his entitled generation."--Hollywood Reporter
