“Parallel Process” Reviews

“This isn’t a play about the Vietnam War. It’s about how individuals rediscover their mutual humanity despite their painful history. Parallel Process explores the complexities of sibling rivalry, strained loyalties, and the ghosts of past decisions. The play’s brilliant exploration of the brothers’ conflicting perspectives, interwoven with other complications, makes this a must-see theatrical event…It is one play I can’t praise too highly. Anyone curious about human nature owes it to themselves to see it…Tom Jenkins and Alan McRae, portraying the conflicted brothers, backed by an excellent supporting cast, bring this nuanced drama vividly to life.”
Stage and Cinema

“Parallel Process is the kind of play that sticks with you long after it ends. That’s mostly because of David Kohner Zuckerman’s multilayered script and direction, and strong actors bringing it to life…a gem of a play – well-written and provocative.”

“No matter the circumstances of abuse, be it physical, emotional, or mental, its long-lasting effects on the human psyche can manifest itself in similar and often disruptive ways. Such is the case in Parallel Process, a gripping new drama written and directed by David Kohner Zuckerman…incredibly intense scenes, packing a real wallop into just 75 minutes!”
