The Oxford Roof Climber's Rebellion presented by Caffeine Theatre at Lincoln Square Theater

Windy City Times - Highly Recommended

"...Massicotte's metaphor equating the scaling of Renaissance domes and 17th-century turrets with "reaching for greater heights" is carried comfortably by a diligent cast under the tutelage of dramaturg Daniel Smith and dialect consultant Christine Adaire, as well as director Thomas Weitz, who keeps the action from spilling over into the self-conscious excess that so often plagues plays set in this period. Finally, a sleekly coordinated technical team supplies us with a dazzling multi-media panorama of historical background to keep us anchored in our environment for a round of brain exercise at once invigorating and thoroughly satisfying."

Centerstage - Recommended

"...Caffeine Theatre’s production of Stephen Massicote’s play The Oxford Roof Climbers Rebellion does not attempt to deconstruct the legend but, refreshingly, embraces it. Lawrence, as incarnated by actor Brian Grey, is a brilliant, beautiful Greek God of a man, albeit one emotionally scarred by the horrors of war."

ChicagoCritic - Recommended

"...The danger and excitement of roof climbing at Oxford fuels the need for adventure for the danger junkies -Lawrence and Graves. This fine writing and terrific acting also includes Vincent P. Mahler as the British diplomat charged with settling national boundaries after the Great War. Aftermath of war on soldiers is deftly demonstrated here and its lessons still haunt warriors today as they return from Afghanistan. Brian Grey was most impressive in this show."
