Acting Reviews

Playwright Reviews

...absolutely charming.

-Chicago Reader

There are some standout performances too, like Ross Compton’s complete commitment to the cyborg Kushner, playing it like Star Trek’s Data meets Buster from Arrested Development.

Ross Compton’s new play Amicable, now getting its world premiere at the tiny Theatre Above the Law in a cute little enclave in Rogers Park, is remarkable. It is an astonishing cautionary tale, a zen meditation and a profound experience about human existence. In this Twilight Zone/Black Mirror era it’s also an excellent piece of science fiction.

Mom's Reviews

I think this was my favorite one!

Henchpeople

I didn't really get it...

-On some of the
weirder ones

-Chicagoland Musical Theatre

There were some brilliant raw moments—like Ross Compton's portrayal of a man's last ride to the vet with his dog and subsequent aversion to white cars...

-Chicago Reader

Compton’s script has several epigrammatic nuggets of wisdom, including the so-true-it-hurts line “There’s nothing more dangerous than a rich person with hurt feelings.”

-Chicago Reader

You just transformed!
