Previous Reviews for The Ask

Time Out

FOUR STARS & Critic’s Pick – “Words are wounding in Matthew Freeman's taut two-hander The Ask, an entertaining and empathetic examination of generational and philosophical differences that divide the political left.

New York Times

“As a two-hander pitting strongly defined perspectives, The Ask is engineered to ignite post-performance arguments."

Vulture

Recommended Pick of the Week – “Freeman brings more than a decade of his own experience as an ACLU fundraiser to The Ask, and his achievement is not only to capture two voices with both precision and spiky humor, but also to venture on a generous exploration of two full, wildly different humanities.”

The New Yorker

“A distressing vision of the philanthropic left, as a tar pit where hurt feelings bog down even well-meaning attempts at collective progress.”
