“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.”
