Children of a Lesser God Critics’ Reviews

Experience the emotional fireworks that New York Magazine calls “intense, primal, and show-stopping.” Children of a Lesser God has arrived on Broadway in a breathtaking new production starring Joshua Jackson (The Affair, Fringe), Lauren Ridloff (Wonderstruck), and Anthony Edwards (ER). This Tony-winning Best Play tells the story of an unconventional teacher at a school for the deaf and the remarkable woman he meets there.

Jesse Green of The New York Times raves, it's “fierce, crackling, passionate and profound. Lauren Ridloff gives a blistering, knockout debut performance. And I am awestruck by Joshua Jackson.” “He is truly astonishing” cheers The Daily Beast. And Variety declares, “Lauren Ridloff comes out of nowhere and knocks us off our feet.”

Children of a Lesser God. “It’s easy to understand why it means so very much to so many people” (Chicago Tribune).
