REVIEWS
"I can take any kind of criticism,
as long as it is unqualified praise..."
- Oscar Wilde (who approves of the following)

"Bad Habit's Gross Indecency is remarkable - a large, capable cast delivers subtle, lucid, understated and intelligent work throughout. This fringe company has produced an evening of civilized theatre that several of our Equity houses could not equal. By all means see it."
- Thomas Garvey, Hub Review (Twitter feed)

"John Geoffrion ... captures beautifully the delightful, self-satisfied sparkle of the wit. He also nails the vulnerable moment when Wilde first stumbles..."

- Thomas Garvey, Hub Review

"Geoffrion is untouchable as Wilde, perfectly executing his witty exuberance and eventual decline."

- Bryce Lambert, Boston Lowbrow

"John Geoffrion is mesmerizing... masterful..."

- Nancy Grossman, Broadway World Boston

"Oscar Wilde is alive and well and at the Calderwood Pavilion. John Geoffrion is the man himself."
- Zachary Hare, Zero Point Theater
