"At the Theater For the New City, was playwright Stefan Diethelm’s exhilarating Anton Goes To Heaven (?). It was a wild, sly take on Jean-Paul Sartre’s classic existential play, No Exit. Chris Cornwell delivered a colossal performance out of Sam Shepard as the MAGA ranting, drunk and profane anti-hero. After committing suicide, he wakes up in purgatory where he is tormented by his white trash mother and perverse grandfather. Cynthia Levin, Kevin Duffy and Amari Flynn, all gave fierce performances in their pivotal roles." - By Darryl Reilly
"As the leather biker jacketed, Lotto-fixated and hard drinking single mother, Cynthia Levin is a ferocious delight. Ms. Levin offers a grandly wicked portrait of self-justified maternal abuse via her gutsy turn." - By Darryl Reilly, THEATERSCENE.ORG
"Levin has some funny moments as well, embedded in a visceral performance as the antagonistic Meredith, which is matched in intensity by Cornwell, whose fall-taking, wall-pounding physicality adds to the powerful externalization of Anton's suffering."
- By John R. Ziegler and Leah Richards, Thinking Theater NYC
