COMPANY ONE'S excellent Boston premiere production of NEIGHBORS by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins is a real slap upside the head."
Go. I dare you."
-Joyce Kulhawik
this intriguing blend of over-the-top satire and family drama serves emphatic notice that its young writer is a force to reckon with"
-The Boston Globe
Director Summer L. Williams’ seamless staging in this local production allows the play to provoke and amuse simultaneously"
this production makes “Neighbors” a theatrical event of the first order"
-The Boston Herald
It's smart, funny, shocking, discomfiting, and extremely entertaining. It seems to me that's what theatre should be."
