“Smith plays Bartleby with an eerie stillness, like a scrivening Buster Keaton.” Time Out Chicago
“Kevin V. Smith was brilliant as the restrained Bartleby. One of the most disciplined performances I’ve witnessed in many a year.” Chicago Critic
“Kevin V. Smith is perfectly freakish as Bartleby. Unwavering in his oddity, he embodies the startling strangeness of this pathetic character with complete conviction and believability.” Chicago Stage Review
