SEMINAR BROADWAY REVIEWS

Show	NY TIMES	AP	USA TODAY	HR	VARIETY

Synopsis: In Seminar, four aspiring young novelists sign up for private writing classes with Leonard (Alan Rickman), an international literary figure. Under his recklessly brilliant and unorthodox instruction, some thrive and others flounder, alliances are made and broken, sex is used as a weapon and hearts are unmoored. The wordplay is not the only thing that turns vicious as innocence collides with experience in this biting new comedy.

Broadway Reviews

NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:

"Maybe you can’t judge a book by its cover, but apparently you can come up with a spot-on appraisal just by eyeballing a couple of sentences. That, anyway, is the impression left by “Seminar,” the shiny, facile new comedy by Theresa Rebeck, which stars Alan Rickman as the posturing celebrity teacher of a writing workshop."

ASSOCIATED PRESS REVIEW:

"There are terrible moments of silence in Theresa Rebeck's new Broadway play. No, not to worry: None of the actors has forgotten a line or flubbed a cue while performing in the wonderful new comedy "Seminar," which had its world premiere on Sunday. Those pauses are just the moments where everyone in the Golden Theatre is frozen, staring at Alan Rickman."

USA TODAY REVIEW:

"In the first scene of Theresa Rebeck's new comedy, Seminar (* * * out of four), we're introduced to a group of aspiring young writers who represent a compendium of clichés."

HOLLYWOOD REPORTER REVIEW:

"A slender but enjoyable play about the courage and self-knowledge required of any artist, with an ace ensemble led by Alan Rickman in fine form."

VARIETY REVIEW:

"Teaching the young proves a treacherous business for both tutor and students in "Seminar," Theresa Rebeck's dark comedy about a literary lion and the young writers he eats for breakfast at his private seminars. Alan Rickman is heaven-sent as the sexy, sneering, snarling literary legend who condescends to tutor four aspiring novelists who have paid through the nose for the privilege of being abused. But these clever youngsters know how to play this intellectual contact sport, and even though everyone stops short of drawing blood, the civilized games they play are enormously entertaining."
