Presse : Les critiques sont mauvaises:

"If the production’s confidence falters, Ms. Lavin’s performance never does. You’ve no doubt seen characters grow old onstage before, but it’s rare that a performer ages as instantly or fluidly as Ms. Lavin does." Ben Brantley for New York Times

"The notion of how much we can ever truly know people in our lives is worth exploring. Who was she, indeed? But the question 'Brief Affair' leaves you with is 'What was that?' Ultimately, not enough to satisfy." Joe Dziemianowicz for New York Daily News

"There is no doubt as to the casual mastery that Lavin, at 78, brings to the part. Shifting in and out of the past, elevating one-liners to three-dimensionality, she brings a lifetime of command to the stage. She owns this part and claims it like nobody’s business but her own." Adam Feldman for Time Out New York

"While Meadow's actors are all quite accomplished, they struggle to find any heart in characters so unrelentingly "written" that it sucks the life out of them, giving us no reason to care." David Rooney for Hollywood Reporter

"Not even the sainted Linda Lavin can save the deeply unpleasant character she plays in “Our Mother’s Brief Affair,” a lazy play by Richard Greenberg... Stubbornly lacking in dramatic tension." Marilyn Stasio for Variety
