It is at once a grand, even Shakespearean revenge tale... consistently funny..." --The Island Packet "Rasheed is smart enough to put his own stamp on the machinations of a quartet of disagreeable accountants working for a major firm in the backwater of Charleston.... a comedy far tastier than an episode of 'The Apprentice.'"--Robert Nesti, The Boston Herald "Solid praise.... [a] well written play, bubbling over with witty and incisive dialogue, and brimming with provocative perceptions of the kind of workplace double-dealing."--Norm Gross, PMPnetwork.com "If you thought accountants lived lives as gray as their double-entry numbers, then James Rasheed's hilarious new play 'Professional Skepticism' ought to correct your (understandable) miscalculation.... The playwright speaks with rare authority and insight as well as mathematically precise shafts of wit.... Rasheed sets forth the basic issues of a corporate audit with such clarity and succinctness that even the mathematically challenged can understand them. His dialogue is sharp and funny and the dramatic situation he depicts has a universality that speaks to any viewer." -- The Boston Globe. "In the wake of revelations about Enron, WorldCom and the once prestigious accounting firm of Arthur Andersen, Rasheed's 'Professional Skepticism,' written before news of these financial debacles broke, seems prescient." -- Cape Cod Times. "Obviously blessed with Cassandra-like powers of prophecy as well as with the secrets lost in the shredding machines!" -- The Boston Phoenix. |
