“90 minutes of laughs and excitement.”

“Wonderfully staged by director Charlie Mount – and mixed with some over-the-top, but smartly witty dialogue written by Mark Wilding – giving the play a very fun and charming holiday twist that keeps you surprised and laughing out loud throughout.”

“There are a lot of Christmas themed productions to see this time around. But for those that enjoy a tale of Christmas loaded with laughs and thrills, this is the one to stop by.”

“Bravo, Mr. Wilding and Mr. Mount for a sharp, clever, and wholly (holy?) new Christmas production…’Die Hard’ is a Christmas movie, just as The Goddamn Couple Down the Hall (Oh and Merry Christmas) is a must-see Christmas play! (and hopefully, soon-to-be holiday movie.)”

“These characters are eerily believable and the performances absolutely wonderful. As usual, Theatre West gives brilliant attention to detail. The set, the sound and the wardrobe are truly phenomenal. All adding to what is a really funny, original and highly enjoyable play. I can happily enthusiastically recommend The Goddamn Couple Down the Hall (Oh…., and Merry Christmas!). It’s a great way to start off the holiday season and prepare you for this year’s looming, argumentative, stress-filled Christmas…Bravo to all involved, loved it!”

“I am so glad that I opted for an easy-going Sunday afternoon of joining my friends for a matinee of The Goddamn Couple Down the Hall (Oh… and Merry Christmas) at Theatre West last week-end. It was the most fun show I’ve seen in a long while. I laughed the entire time. It’s one of the few shows I would actually be happy to see again! It’s just about the perfect play, on every level, especially for this time of year! It’s just in time for the holidays, to make us feel better about our own Christmases...So if you’d enjoy some hearty laughs, and just some excellent entertainment, not to mention to feel grateful for your own lives, Theatre West is the place to be for the next month. Do not miss this one!”

“‘Tis the season for Christmas shows to abound, and Theatre West has come up with a doozy, marrying murder to jolly St. Nick and the happy returns of the season...Playwright Mark Wilding doesn’t skip a beat to lead us to the final, by turns hilarious and hair-raising, moments. All in all, there is never a dropped moment from beginning to end of this light-hearted but deadly production. The pacing is crisp; the production elements are well integrated. Theatre West is known for its depth of talent among its ranks, and this production proves the point. Director Charlie Mount excels at staging mayhem, and there’s plenty here.”
