The press raves about Matthew Freeman

for The Most Wonderful Love

"Talk about taking a cleaver to the Cleavers. The mid-American family at the heart of Matthew Freeman's fearless new satire, "The Most Wonderful Love," is decidedly fractured when the play begins. By the time it's over, a complete dismemberment has been performed...as savage as any slasher film."
-- Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times

for When Is a Clock

"...there’s a monologue that deserves to be enshrined in some kind of hall of fame: it’s savvy and preposterous and utterly original...appealingly abnormal..."
-- Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times

for An Interview with the Author

"It's smart and hilarious, which won't surprise Freeman's fans; it's also, apart from its obvious parody of the central notions of pretentious theatre in general and this festival in particular, a devastating satire of the current culture of introspection and self-flagellation."
-- Martin Denton, nytheatre.com

for Glee Club

“How lucky we are to have frankly immoral plays about morbidly unhappy people like Blue Coyote Theater’s current production, Glee Club!”
-- Jonathan Leaf, EDGE.
