Stage Raw

"Drawn from personal experience, the play’s characters are penned with remarkable specificity even by Wilson’s exacting standards. Director Lili-Anne Brown and her seamless ensemble bring them vividly to life in every detail."

San Francisco Gate

"[The] Acting Company is electric in August Wilson’s Two Trains Running … this engaging, effective production has a starry cast of characters. Their nonstop discourse about the hardtack lives of African Americans represents a timeless story."

Ventura County Reporter

"[An] American classic on track … riveting, humorous, insightful and full of human pathos."

BroadwayWorld

"With [August] Wilson’s signature poetic voice and vivid character development, this production, produced by the Tony Award-winning The Acting Company, sparkles with beautiful acting and a spirit of resilience and hopefulness."

San Francisco Chronicle

"Robert Cornelius, with a gritty voice as an undertaker named West, structures his lines with such masterful melodiousness that you picture a music staff running alongside his text."

The Santa Barbara Independent

"Still relevant in today’s America … The Acting Company tells the story with smooth, natural realism and a practiced balance of humor from ebullient to cynical, and serious musings on American social hierarchy."
