"'solas nua' is gaelic for 'new light,' and thankfully, this is exactly what brick and murray, the troupe's leaders, are letting in. on the evidence of the crackerjack 'bedbound,' solas nua is a bright new kid on the block"
-the washington post – peter marks
“with “bedbound,” solas nua has once again succeeded in bringing walsh’s dark vision to local playgoers.”
-the washington examiner
“where beckett isolated characters in trash cans and mounds of earth, letting them lob words into an uncomprehending void, walsh restricts his battling father and daughter to a mattress and has them hurl diatribes at each other. The effect, in Dan Brick's taut production for Solas Nua, is angrier but no less devastating.”
-the washington city paper, bob mondello
"bedbound is a claustrophobic treasure that elevates solas nua to another level of performance."
"...leaves the audience all but speechless"
