“Greed never goes out of style. The maneuverings are fun to watch and lead to several fiery showdowns…  The cast of 13, directed by Michael Hardart, has excellent timing, especially in scenes when 10 actors pack the tiny stage at the Metropolitan Playhouse…  there are plenty of clever lines, and enough underhanded dealings to have even the craftiest ex-con in awe of these elected crooks.”

– Ken Jaworowski for The New York Times

“Michael Hardart directs the show with the kind of rapid clip one associates with 1930s screwball film comedies… The cast of 13 does strong, nimble ensemble work…  “Both Your Houses” features a struggle between two American impulses that may never be fully reconcilable—the capitalistic and the democratic. That dichotomy makes for a fascinating showdown.”

– Mark Dundas Wood for Backstage

Both Your Houses by Maxwell Anderson, Metropolitan Playhouse (2012)​

“A tight, bright, solid revival of Maxwell Anderson's 1933 Pulitzer Prize winner… The juiciest moments come from Fitzmaurice (Warren Katz), an alcohol-fueled old pol… Katz's vociferations, coarse but energetically comic, provide the chill wind that sweeps Michael Hardart's production speedily along…  Even Hardart's choreographed scene changes are astute, unfussy models of efficiency, and the period music very smartly chosen”

– Michael Feingold for The Village Voice

“Michael Hardart has… elicited some strong performances from, especially, the supporting players” – Martin Denton for nytheatre.com
