Press

“And I reveled in any number of first-class revivals, including The Peccadillo Theater Company’s triumphant exhumation of ‘A Loss of Roses,’ a powerful William Inge drama that hadn’t been seen in New York since… 1959.”
THE BEST THEATRE OF 2014 – Wall Street Journal

“Under the direction of Dan Wackerman, the acting in this Peccadillo production of William Inge’s drama from 1959 is stellar. The characters all have a stock quality at first, but the performers– particularly Kahre and Hedwall– deftly reveal them to be eccentric, complex, and very dark.” – The New Yorker

“A LOSS OF ROSES is a classic worth revisiting… Director Dan Wackerman delivers a polished production of this old-fashioned drama… Lichty and Kahre make strong impressions as the ill-fated lovers, while Hedwall is moving as a woman desperate to keep her son close.” – New York Post

“Deborah Hedwall is excellent! Ben Kahre’s Kenny blossoms into a creepy charmer!” – The New York Times

“A whisper of Tennessee Williams floats through The Peccadillo Theater Company’s polished revival of A Loss of Roses, one of playwright William Inge’s lesser known works… [All] three lead actors… give solid performances.” – Talkin’ Broadway
