Reviews
“MOTHER’SON has a rough energy and a dramatic punch that
is undeniable, sort of a scream (sic) of consciousness unleashed, a
study in contrived and deliberate terms – but fascinating, sweeping, and
at once repulsive and erotic.” James Metropole, The Movie Gazette, Los
Angeles, April 1994.
“Dark, hilarious, menacing and brilliantly performed, MOTHER’SON is an
exaggerated theatrical rendering of a hundred stifling mother/son
relationships.” Stella Goormay, The Stage, September 21, 1995, Edinburgh
Festival, Scotland.
“MOTHER’SON is one of the most delicious, if guilty, pleasures on a
local stage.” Rob Kendt, Back Stage West, March 17, 1994.
“The play is a Joycean flight of words, full of free associations,
abrupt turns, unexpected lulls, explosive humor.” MOTHER’S SON - Jim
Delmont, Omaha World - Herald, September 10, 1993.
“MOTHER’SON is a terrific play containing verbal gymnastics that are
absolutely fantastic.” BBC Radio, Edinburgh Festival, October 12, 1995.

“Raymond J. Barry’s soliloquies are poetic, conscious, and aware.”
MOTHER’S SON - Daniel Goldman, Independent, May 1994.
“Barry’s fine surreal psychodrama pulls no punches in making the point
that this kind of relationship is not funny, or cosy, or harmless, but
deeply life-denying, implicitly violent, and a breeder of free-floating
aggression on a horrific scale.” MOTHER’S SON - Scotland On Sunday,
Edinburgh Festival, August 13,1995.
“Barry writes hilarious Joycean soliloquies and solipsistic arguments.”
MOTHER’S SON - Richard Stayton, Los Angeles Times, March 16, 1994.
“A brittle, brilliant script by Raymond J. Barry careens through a
myriad of themes, constantly hurling disparate and distressing images at
the audience.” MOTHER’S SON - The Herald, Edinburgh Festival, August 30,
1995.
