(Some Reviews)
...A clever, jaunty piece of entertainment...MacIvor turns everyday blather into pop poetry.
-Jason Zinoman, Time Out--New York
...A startlingly new piece of theater...Under Timothy P. Jones's meticulous direction, MacIvor's spare, poetic script is a choreographed dance toward destruction...a tour de force for the three actors. Their movement, their timing, their control of tone, leave you quite breathless.
-Francine Russo,The Village Voice
(The cast) are nothing short of brilliant in this well directed diamond of a play. The ensemble's timing is flawless...
-David Roberts, Theatre Reviews Ltd. (Read Full Review)
There’s no question that MacIvor has hit upon a jazzy and amusing structure here, and the acting in Timothy P. Jones’ production is sharp and strong.

...As theatrically dangerous as it is arresting...Blessed by a flavorsome cast and zippily directed...compelling theater.
-David Rosenberg, Backstage
John Maria gives one of the Fringe Festival's best performances...(in) an interesting Neal labute-style work..."
-Andy Buck, In Theater Magazine
Every once in a while, we get a little bit of unexpected poetry in our theater-going lives, a potent, pleasing, carefully-crafted delicacy... Never Swim Alone is such a treasure.
-Les Gutman, CurtainUp
