“A very witty new English-language play, Anton, by Montreal writer Harry Standjofski, is an unexpected gem. The play concerns three wealthy sisters who live together because they can't agree on selling their inherited mansion. It is a takeoff on Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters, but there is nothing Russian about it except for the tongue-in-cheek title and the fact that one of the sisters meets a Russian emigré. The play is an acute psychological examination of the spiritual emptiness of Canadian society, and of the different unhappinesses of women. It is also wickedly funny and often sexy and interesting play, serious and self-mocking at the same time.”

“A unique, entertaining, yet deeply searching ceremony for the eighties, No Cycle does not flag for an instant...The five plays in the cycle intentionally bear thematic and structural resemblance to the ancient form of Japanese Noh theatre, which was based on the Samurai code of honor and the contemplation of Zen Buddhism. However, they also carry traces of Edward Albee, Jules Feiffer, Ezra Pound, John Updike and Buster Keaton. Standjofski says he calls his play No Cycle instead of Noh Cycle 'to depict a time of infertility, mundane rituals and organized religions that are far from God.' But the play unfolds like a comedy revue through a series of blackouts with Elvis Presley songs for musical bridges. It is frequently serious, but hardly negative.”
