WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
A COMEDIC RANT OF POLITICAL PROPORTIONS
"AN INTOXICATING ONE-MAN COMIC RANT!
EXHILARATING AND ENORMOUSLY SATISFYING!"
The New York Times
"He can make you THINK AS HARD AS YOU LAUGH."
The Village Voice
"Brian Dykstra is damn pissed. His one-man show is about the myriad things that he sees corroding our society. The questions he raises are TRENCHANT and on target. His description of Hollywood's manipulations juxtaposed against the show business of Washington is subtle yet POWERFUL."
Gay City News
"Listening to Brian Dykstra is simply EXHILARATING."

Theatermania

Brian Dykstra: Cornered & Alone is part comic monologue, part performance poetry, and part political rant. The writer-performer commands the stage as he riffs on everything from the Defense of Marriage Act to the death of Ronald Reagan. Dykst[...]
