This hilarious new play is almost indescribably bizarre. And that’s a good thing. Folie dishes out the incongruity at a nicely measure pace; he waits until just when you think you have things figured out before throwing in another twist. The cast, meanwhile, rides Folie’s off-kilter imagination fearlessly. How often do you get to see a curtain call featuring a body-builder in a cigarette girl costume?
The New York Times
An ingenuous and fascinating comedy/love story that takes place at some indeterminate time in the future. One of New Jersey Repertory Company’s best offerings to date.
Atlanticville
Mike Folie's hilarious political farce explores the arrogance of power and the search for happiness. Folie's acerbic critique provokes us via gut-busting repartee rather than rhetorical bludgeoning.
L.A. Weekly
Mike Folie's new futuristic comedy …is one of the more cheerful apocalyptic scenarios to come along in quite some time.
Los Angeles Times
Wow! Snap, crackle and pop! A small, intimate space is transformed by on-point timing, actors who claim their characters and scripted words that ricochet off their lips like bullets against steel.
Dramalogue
A very funny play. Folie’s crazed parody of sex, freedom and love aims for the big laughs and it got them.
Buffalo News
When I was told that Alleyway Theatre’s new play was a “tongue-in-cheek, futuristic, James Bond-style romantic comedy,” I thought “Man, this is gonna suck.” Well, Love in the Insecurity Zone doesn’t suck. In fact, it’s probably the funniest thing I’ve ever seen at the Alleyway Theatre.
