MY MEMORY: A talented young writer, a terrific new play, and five marvelous pros having a ball playing these sad and hilarious characters all added up to a great time in the theatre.

​

Four Beers is a sly charmer: warm, funny, touching, and occasionally profound.  In Roger Danforth's robust staging, this affectionate comedy about roads taken and forsaken feels like a natural for a commercial run and deserves to be seen by lots and lots of people. I'm certainly rooting for this dark horse to become the sleeper hit of the season.   -- NYTheatre.com

The men on stage make a gallant ensemble, nimbly guided by Roger Danforth, who's thought of the little directorial details that ground a play like this in reality.  Four Beers has a good head on it.  -- Theatermania

In David Van Vleck's Four Beers you'll be treated to five of the best performances available around town as the four beer swillers exchange an uninterrupted hour and forty minutes of sparkling, character-revealing dialogue. -- Curtain Up

Director Roger Danforth doesn't miss an opportunity to add gesture and movement to Van Vleck's brilliant dialogue.  -- New York Theatre Wire
