What Critics had to say about the original production:
With the help of Mr. Durang, the fine art of parody has returned to … theater in a production you can sink your teeth and mind into, while also laughing like an idiot… Parody of this comic verve is as much fun as the marvelous party Noel Coward once sang about. I couldn’t have enjoyed it more.
– Vincent Canby, New York Times
If you need a break from serious drama, the place to go is… Christopher Durang’s silly, funny, over-the-top sketches, "DURANG/DURANG."
– TheaterWeek
Christopher Durang’s new collection of six short plays has an impish, everybody-into-the-pool spirit about it; among those who get soaked are Sam Shepard and the tough-talking David Mamet. The highlight is a hilarious parody of “The Glass Menagerie.” … Sitting through “Durang/Durang” is a little like going on the bumper cars at an amusement park: you’re so caught up in the exhilarating hysteria that it doesn’t matter to you that you’re not actually going anywhere except – momentarily, blissfully – outside yourself.
– Nancy Franklin, The New Yorker
