To my knowledge, no previous works of theater have been topical in the resonant and specific ways as the Apple Family plays. REGULAR SINGING, the fourth and final installment of Richard Nelson's wonderful, sui generis Apple Family plays, this deeply intimate drama is about how we remember our living and our dead.... A rare and radiant mirror of the way we live--and fail to live--now. --Ben Brantley, New York Times
After a holiday weekend, it is natural to miss the family. But the family I'm missing now is named Apple and lives up the Hudson in Rhinebeck. These are the six people with whom I spent intimate, deeply moving and satisfying evenings. The Apple Family: Scenes from Life in the Country [is] an extraordinary four-play cycle...one of the major American plays of our time. --Linda Winer, Newsday
Smart and funny, moving and touching, honest and thoughtful… The fantastic fourth and final installment in Mr Nelson's Apple Family plays. --Jesse Oxfeld, New York Observer
