"The stylized movement contributes to the show’s artful exoticism, which reaches its peak in moments when motion and design synchronize to create magical transformations and epiphanies. ... Largely driven by greed, pride and hardheartedness ('Poetry is its own reward, but so is money!' the conniving versifier Brighella — portrayed by Graham Pilato — observes), the buffoonish characters ultimately learn the value of virtue, while social reversals yield to hierarchy and traditional family bonds."             Read full review

"Graham Pilato is convincing as desperate, confused Bruce, who has notable chemistry with Spears' Prudence and a caring concern for his male lover, Bob. Pilato's Bruce is equally skilled in relating to his therapist, Wallace, helping decipher her tangled phrases"             Read full review

These actors ... not only play these characters beautifully, they play them in perhaps the only way they can be convincingly played. With all the actors not only on the same page but on the right page..."             Read full review

"The other actors, some assuming multiple roles, measure up well. Particularly assured, vibrant efforts come from ... Graham Pilato (Hastings)."             Read full review

"The most compelling action comes to circulate around the interplay between Victor (Graham Pilato)—who deserves additional props for a fine drunken drawl—and Bradley (Keith Waters), plagued throughout the play by a crustacean-sized sore in his nether-regions. Initially painted as the sincere puppy in the dog pen, Victor’s writerly obligations—to comely Brenda, to the necessity of working through some Freudian family issues—are shaken as Bradley insinuates that success, in Hollywood, comes at the price of integrity. Sounds clichéd, yes? Fair enough, but the superbly acted dialogue between the two that ends the show manages to leave a central question unanswered."       Read full review

"Pilato delivers his role as the younger brother Joey, a wannabe boxer who is a construction worker during the day, with affecting delicacy, especially as he starts to fall in love."            Read full review
