Incidental Moments of the Day - Nelson Richard

Critic's Pick

  "Truly profound... The genius of INCIDENTAL MOMENTS is in how it extends [the] social and verbal uneasiness within a family to embrace the most important and divisive subjects of the day."

The New York Times

***** Five Stars (out of Five)

  "Beautifully composed."

The Guardian (UK)

  "Virtually perfect."

Daily Mail (UK)

***** Five Stars (out of Five)

  "Nelson subtly shines a light on the anger and angst of modern-day America. Underneath their chit-chat, you feel the tide of history turning."

The Stage (UK)  

**** Four Stars.

  "The piece's unspoken liberalism-real liberalism, which allows for different points of view-is a moving rebuke to our parched, stark times."

The Sunday Times (UK)

  "An achingly poignant trilogy that maps out the existential black hole we seem to have fallen into."

The Washington Post 

  "The pieces (the trilogy) will be remembered, mostly, for how they told the story of our feelings while isolated."

Chicago Tribune
