The assembled parties (First edition.)

"As eccentric as it is cunning, Greenberg's densely packed script sends your mind spinning while you laugh... Diffidence has rarely provided an audience with such enthrallingly readable hidden agendas." - Michael Feingold,Village Voice

"The Assembled Partiesis Greenberg's most richly emotional work in years, and the most beautifully detailed." - Jesse Green,New York

"This tragicomedy shocks us into realizing how hungry we have been for witty and wounded grownups who toss off gorgeously written observations without knowing how little we know about what we think we know." - Linda Winer,Newsday
