"Lanford Wilson was big in the 1970s and '80s, but the author of THE HOT L BALTIMORE and TALLEY'S FOLLY had largely faded from view by the time of his death in March. It's been ages since a Wilson play received a high-profile production in New York, and three years since I last reviewed one anywhere in America. For this reason, Keen Company's Off-Broadway revival of LEMON SKY is an occasion of no small consequence, an opportunity to take a second look at a once-admired playwright who has fallen out of fashion-and the news is good. Not only does LEMON SKY turn out to be a play of exceptional quality, but Jonathan Silverstein's production is an extraordinarily strong and finely acted piece of work."

"Howe's delightful, disturbing, and ultimately moving 1983 play...
Under a discreet, seemingly naturalistic surface lurks the flamboyance of a highly American cartoon Absurdism, half Looney Tunes and half Ionesco, always ready to turn a mild reminiscence into ribbons of gaudily insane slapstick... the stylistic indeterminacy poses a challenge for performers: Exactly how "real" should these characters seem? Unlike the 1983 cast, each member of which twinkled in a galaxy of his or her own, Forsman's trio answers the question with handsome teamwork, each having one foot firmly anchored in reality, yet each seeming capable of floating off at any moment into the shadow area where sanity becomes wholly unhinged."
- Michael Feingold, Village Voice
