John Doe Reviews

Morris Theatre DC- Somewhat Recommended

"...John Doe tangles its ideas together early on, without figuring out a way to unravel it by the show’s end, dampening the potential creativity that lies beneath."

BroadwayWorld- Highly Recommended

"...The cast of John Doe don't know they're in a play about the effects and impacts of death on survivors; they're all in “just keep living” mode, and, thanks to Angelle Whavers (wise playwright), their experiences form a kind of map of getting through stuff. Her play isn't quite Act III of Our Town, but loss of people is humanity's shared event, and the characters who most need some normalization do evolve during the uninterrupted 90 minutes of this ultimately comforting play."

DC Theater Arts- Recommended

"...Angelle Whavers’ John Doe may be a play that’s still finding its way, but its premiere production is in excellent hands at Keegan, which has uplifted the script with superb stagecraft and even some surprising wit (as in, for instance, a scenic reference to a Ghostbuster movie graphic and a “Thriller” soundtrack clip)."
