"Set in country villas outside of Rome in the months before Caesar's assassination, Conversations in Tusculum imagines the frustrations of fiery senators and warriors reduced to brooding in self-imposed isolation about the endangered civil freedoms of their republic... A portrait of the guilt of being merely intellectual when the world demands something more." Ben Brantley, The New York Times "Mr Nelson has charted how the chaos of the world enters in the first place: slight by slight, betrayal by betrayal, injustice by injustice, conversation by conversation." Eric Grode, The New York Sun "[CONVERSATIONS IN TUSCULUM] feels a little like Chekhov, and means to remind us of the power-hungry men currently in charge in Washington. Nelson's script, basically faithful to history, is written in a 21st-century vernacular that casts these men as Wall Street or Movie moguls on their days off. TUSCULUM is a taste well worth acquiring." Elizabeth Zimmer, Metro

"In some ways, it's their funniest presentation yet… With a musical score that gives the script bite and zest, the three performers 'turn history inside out and upside down, cramming 1,000 facts into 90 minutes.' By the end they have given us a nonsensical but hilarious rendition of each major epoch."Andrew Warshaw, The Guardian "Singing that 'history ain't what it used to be' the three-person ensemble put a deranged spin on the events of the past 1,000 years… Mixing broad physical humor with sly satire, the three sang, disco-danced and adopted phony accents and even phonier facial hair to view the highlights (and low points) of history, from Leif Ericsson to the Y2K bug… The show was consistently hilarious."Donna Freedman, Anchorage Daily News "The show, overall, is a riot… Don't miss it. After all, a comedy this funny only comes along once or twice a millennium."Patrick Meighan, New Hampshire Telegraph "…combining smarty-pants irreverence with physical buffoonery and street-wise smarts … it touches greatness."Christopher Rawson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
