THE SUNKEN LIVING ROOM

 The Critics Rave

“...unsettling, funny, poignant... Caudle’s writing is full of humor, compassion, keen observation and period-perfect language...” -The Miami Herald

“...sharp period piece... blistering family drama... The Sunken Living Room is a drama with much to say about growing up too soon in a world that’s moving too fast.” -Sun Sentinel“

"delicious drama.” -Miami ArtZine“

David Caudle’s new play… is a rarity: a realistic, linear comedy-drama that holds and entertains its audience with an authentic slice of dysfunctional family life.
…funny, touching and disturbing, …dramatically buoyant theatre.” -Times-Picayune

Named BEST DRAMA by the Miami Sun Post
"When the stormy drama with a stormy history finally opened in April, audiences were treated to a gem...With seamless direction by Southern Rep's Ryan Rilette, a magnificent cast and an appropriately garish set by Jesse Dreikosen reflecting the decor of the Me Decade, The Sunken Living Room marked a theatrical high point of the last season and tagged Caudle as a playwright to watch." - Miami Sun Post
