Here’s what the critics are saying about...
“Engaging Shaw”
by John Morogiello
Directed by Jackob G. Hofmann

"'Engaging Shaw' is a charming romantic comedy. John Morogiello's dialogue is smart without being pretentious, witty without being smug. If there's a minute of the play that's less than clever, you'll be hard pressed to find it. The actors excel under Jackob G. Hofmann's direction. Great fun!"

"The Abingdon Theatre Company production of John Morogiello's drawing-room comedy Engaging Shaw not only lives up to its title -- it's absolutely delightful, thanks to a scintillating script, agile direction from Jackob G. Hofmann, and solid performances by an accomplished cast."
- THEATERMANIA.Com
"Jackob G. Hoffmann’s direction is solid and nuanced. The players share dozens of small gestures and expressions allowing us the pleasure of personal discovery. The use of silence is particularly effective—a pause of recognition, time to formulate or repress reaction, internal dialogue. The tiny stage is well used—no small accomplishment."
