“It’s as if Sid Vicious suddenly became a Trapist Monk…” – Backstage
“director Josh T. Ryan has managed a neat trick, he actually unearthed considerable humor in Dostoevsky’s subterranean work…Josh T. Ryan approaches his subject with near-surreal archness, a frenetic tack that is hysterical in every sense of the word…”– Los Angeles Times
“Josh T. Ryan is a gifted comedic actor, a postmodern Red Skelton who uses gesture and physicality to convey the core of character.” – Backstage“Josh T. Ryan ably translates Dostoevsky’s verbose psychological study into a surprisingly visual evening.” – L.A. Weekly
“The fire sign theatre-flavored finale, “Divorce”, benefits from director Josh T. Ryan and Rainey K. Taylor, hilarious as an ex-power couple in caustic reunion at their problem child’s boarding school.” – Los Angeles Times
“Josh T. Ryan is priceless as the swaggering Rogue; whether calculating how many 5-year-olds he can beat up or recounting his exploits on the streets of the concrete jungle, he perfectly captures the spirit of bygone literary heroics.” – Backstage
“Josh T. Ryan is enormously appealing and suitably scary as the beleaguered painter with no legitimate way out of his addictions.” – Backstage
“Josh T. Ryan is marvelously off beat…” – LA Weekly
“In the original film, it was actor Henry Silva who scared the sheets out of them, and here Josh T. Ryan outdoes Silva as a chilling, ruthless villain who would just as soon shoot you up with a needle or a gun.” – Jose Ruiz, Review Plays
“Big impression on me was Josh T. Ryan in the role of the FBI guy. Italian New Yorker through and through, Unbelievable!” – Goldstar
“Josh T. Ryan infuses the Rogue with an almost Chaplinesque romance, with demure aristocracy, a twirling cane and an intellectual voice.” – Jose Ruiz, Review Plays
