Broadway Reviews

NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:

"Every unhappy family may be unhappy in its own way, as Tolstoy wrote, but not all of those ways are necessarily interesting. This truth is borne out by the worthy but wearying new play “Blood From a Stone” by Tommy Nohilly, a New Group production that opened Wednesday night at the Acorn Theater. "

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS REVIEW:

"In his debut play, "Blood From a Stone," Tommy Nohilly paints his portrait of the American family. It's not a pretty picture. It's not subtle either."

BACKSTAGE REVIEW:

""I don't have time for this crap," moans Margaret, the mother of one of the most dysfunctional families in recent theatrical memory. She's referring to just one of the endless crises that erupt in "Blood From a Stone," Tommy Nohilly's debut play, being given a thoroughly professional production by the New Group, featuring a hard-working, starry cast."

CURTAIN UP REVIEW:

"The roof leaks. The kitchen floor is patched with mismatched tiles, the dining table is piled high with personal papers. Though there are some signs of normal family life —- children's drawings tacked to the refrigerator, cat scratching post , framed family pictures lining the wall leading upstairs — the general aura of messiness quickly proves to be a visual metaphor for the lives of far from quiet discontent we witness in Tommy Nohilly's debut play, Blood From a Stone, that just opened at The New Group's home on Theatre Row.

HOLLYWOOD REPORTER REVIEW:

"Family is a life sentence in Tommy Nohilly's caustic study, shot through with darkly funny observations and exposed nerves, authenticated in the New Group's production by a tremendous cast working at the top of their game. "
