"In Lennox Robinson's sly and amusing 1933 play, first performed at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin,
a travelling troupe sets up shop in the seaside village of Inish and starts feeding the locals a steady diet of
Ibsen, Strindberg, and Chekhov. Pretty soon, the sunny summer has turned rainy and oppressive,
young couples are making suicide pacts, and misunderstood souls are jumping off piers.
Director Jonathan Bank and a fine company of actors play it thoroughly straight,
infusing the satire with tenderness." The New Yorker

"This sweet and witty revival of Lennox Robinson's 1933 comedy 'Is Life Worth Living?'
again earns Jonathan Bank and the Mint Theater Company hosannas
for bringing a lesser-known work to our attention." Time Out New York

"Charm, most lacking in today's theater, abounds in Lennox Robinson's 1933 play, 'Is Life Worth Living?'
now joyously revived by New York's dependable Mint Theater -- Jonathan Bank's
deft directing and his cherishable cast render 'Is Life Worth Living?' as the modest masterpiece it is.
Comic interaction, ridiculous plot twists and farcical dialogue proliferate,
including a riotous rehearsal scene and concurrent monologues in which intended
empathy yields to garrulous self-pity as much ado bustles toward
an ending worthy of Fellini." John Simon, Bloomberg
