The familiar, whitewashed story of Pilgrims and Native Americans chowing down together gets a delicious roasting from expert farceurs… That this aspect of the satire works as well as it does is a credit to the swift pacing of Moritz von Stuelpnagels production and the acuity of his casting… Satire doesn’t get much richer.

Very, very funny… under the expert direction of Moritz von Stuelpnagel, the performers uproarious turns make their characters as endearing as they are daffy. All that makes The Thanksgiving Play something for which to be truly thankful.

An uproarious elementary school backstager, it is by far the funniest satire yet written about the woke warriors sleepwalking through American society… Director Moritz von Stuelpnagel provides an energetic staging that skirts the line between ridiculous and all-too-real.

Packs a satirical and visual punch… Director Moritz von Stuelpnagel keeps the energy high and the jokes flying; the cast has perhaps the most fun of anyone in the tiny theater… culminating in a laugh-out-loud final explosive breakdown.

Its ridiculous, absurd, and delightful, all layered up together, with a dash of cranberry sauce, in an uncomfortable sandwich of American culture run amuck… directed with comic sharpness and style by Moritz von Stuelpnagel… Cutting and edgy, smothered in an absurdist concoction of wit and demented humor

The brilliance – and delight – of The Thanksgiving Play is that it functions on two levels – both as a sharp satire on political correctness and a serious farce that lampoons the hypocrisy of American mythology and exposes the true exploitation of Native Americans… Moritz von Stuelpnagel directs with the same wicked sense of humor and mischief that he brought to the hilarious Hand To God two years ago on Broadway.
