Whatever wars may capture the headlines, the one that still fires the greatest passions is the battle of the sexes. In 'Couples,' an evening of eight one-acts being presented at the WorkShop Theater Company ... Mr. Orloff moves the action in unexpected ways to create real dramatic tension ... There are wildly imaginative flights .... both funny and poignant.

The evening is very entertaining. For those who have never experienced Rich Orloff's work, COUPLES is an outstanding place to begin.

It's a treat for the audience...each of these eight pieces has its own distinct voice, and shows Orloff's great range as a writer...He manages to address some heavy issues that affect relationships...infusing each with a delicate balance of humor and gravity...all 16 actors are well-cast and entertaining...a lighthearted evening that is fun and thought-provoking.

Exhilarating...a nice showcase for the company and for Orloff's comic, lyric, and surreal talents...writing with heart, hope and humor about people who need people.

COUPLES is a whirlwind of expression, demonstrating a versatile and prolific Rich Orloff.
