“Very much to the credit of [the] author, director and cast that a strong sense of the yearning for place and the persistence of hope that drive all the characters remain the strong backbone of [the] play”
“mixes comedy with confrontation”
“1800 Acres works best in intimate moments, for example in funny, moving scenes between mother and son.”
“really a lot of fun.”
“[There] are points of tension David refuses to ignore... Luckily for us, easy answers don’t make good theatre.”

“David Myers is one of the most exciting young playwrights we have; smart, radical and funny, his voice is as unique as it is beguiling.”
“Following its development as part of our US/UK Exchange programme earlier this year, I am thrilled that 1800 Acres is receiving a full production at Riverside. David Myers is a very talented young writer and one of the leading lights of our New Voices Network for emerging actors, writers, directors and producers in New York... It is a testament to the quality of the talent in our New Voices programmes that such productions take flight each year, with the next generation of theatre stars emerging before our eyes.”
“... are those insignificant circumstances or the basis for building an identity? Can you choose what divisions and biases you inherit or do these things creep in without your control?”
“...the disturbing and disarming creation of David Myers...sexy and intriguing all the way through.”
