A 'Night' in verse with Yeats Jun 18, 2007
David Patrick Kelly as Dad offsets all that estrogen with an irascible rage only a woman's touch can calm, while Richard Short, as the actor, has us believing he can fall for two women in the same house, separated by two generations. "The Night Season," at 21/2 hours, is a long day's journey. (Newsday -- Entertainment)

Women remain garnishing, including some moms as fiercely crease-lipped as in John Ford Westerns. (San Diego Union-Tribune)
A Masterly Take On War, Heroes Oct 20, 2006
David Patrick Kelly, so memorable so long ago in "The Warriors," has aged into a perfectly acceptable Harry Truman. Paul Walker and combat-film vet Barry Pepper ("Saving Private Ryan") make believable Marines. (CTNow.com)
With substantial casts, British plays are larger than life May 7, 2006
Absurdist actor supreme David Patrick Kelly, in a relatively small part, is particularly adept at making it clear that this large-scale celebration has one foot in Pirandellian hijinks. Stuff Happens" That same infusion of energy drives David Hare's dissection of the Bush administration's Iraq policy. As the cabinet comes marching out onto an open stage in the middle of the audience, it's almost as if you're watching Henry V's war council members preparing for battle -- with one another, as well...
