Reviews & Press

"Bad Habit’s Translations is one of the loveliest productions of the play I’ve seen. You are transported, transformed and even transfigured by one extraordinary play. Director M. Bevin O’Gara has a game cast to seize Friel’s words and turn them into flesh and spirit. Every performance is folded beautifully into the dynamic ensemble. Don’t deny yourself this experience." — Boston Arts Review

"A beautiful, stirring and subtle production featuring some very talented members of Boston's theatre community." — Talkin Broadway
