A Few Small Repairs
"I think this guy [Robson] is really skilled and tremendously gifted."--Craig Lucas, Tony-nominated writer of "Reckless" and "Prelude to a Kiss.""Robson is remarkable on many levels: he is a talented playwright and a rigorous thinker. His work is provocative, smart, and well-crafted."--Deborah Brevoort, award-winning playwright of "Women of Lockerbie.""A charming and moving play. A Few Small Repairs creates, in tiny increments, both admiration and pathos for Little Alice, this peculiar, hairless, middle-aged daughter who, with her `low threshold for guilt' finds her life has vanished in devotion to her demented mother."  -- Philadelphia Inquirer, 2007"A Few Small Repairs packs a wallop. Robson has a keen eye and ear for life's caprices, and for pain sometimes disguised as humor...the audience is left to ponder fortune and the fall from grace, and to reflect on what `neglect' really means."  -- Central Record, 2007"An engaging play about the constrictive bonds of family. The roles of Big and Little Alice are handled deftly, and are heartbreaking in their codependence. It is an intriguing work." -- Trinity Repertory Company, 2007"David Robson wrote a fine nonmusical play called A Few Small Repairs, based on the same two (Grey Gardens)women.It lingers vividly in the mind because it created characters of subtlety and humanness, each of whom was a real individual."   -- Philadelphia Inquirer, 2009
