"A CELEBRATION! Exuberant! Perfection! Strong performances enacted with delicacy and precision. Craig Lucas urges us to celebrate life and love; Director Peter DuBois shows us how it's done." — The Boston Globe
"MAGICAL! A witty and powerful romantic fairy tale featuring charming performances. You will be moved!" — Boston Herald
"SOME ENCHANTED EVENING! Director Peter DuBois has conjured up an adult fairy tale, a sweet dream, a romantic comedy with a supernatural twist that will make some swoon." — The Patriot Ledger
"I LOVED THIS PLAY! The questions that Mr. Lucas addresses are timeless ones. He has written a play that propels the audience through hairpin emotional turns, some soaring heavenward and others plummeting toward earth, until one is deposited at the final curtain in a winded and teary yet exhilarating state."
— Frank Rich, The New York Times (March 9, 2007)
"An intimate and extremely delicate work. Lucas's exquisite writing spins out sentiments that could be treacle in other hands, in a scenario that might just as easily have dissolved into contrived whimsy. But there's an anchoring sincerity that makes you believe."
— Variety (March 9, 2007)
- Switching Souls, Testing Vows
“'For better or for worse, in sickness and in health.' Those vows take on a whole new significance in Craig Lucas’ Prelude to a Kiss, the current production of the Huntington Theatre Company . . ."
- His past, his Prelude
"Actor MacIntyre Dixon was born during the Great Depression and has lived long enough to appear in a Jack Black movie. . . ."
- Peter DuBois hits his stride at the Huntington
"On a recent morning, Peter DuBois sits in the balcony of the BU Theatre, beaming like a kid in a candy shop . . ."
