"DILEMMA
is funny and neatly disconcerting.
Lerner
strands everybody among clashing
levels of
reality; and in the process purveys a . . .
convincing sense of dislocation, frustration
and embarassing exposure.
I mean to say that I liked it”
Michael Smith
The
Village Voice, June 22, 1967

“I watched TEA at Henry Street’s New
Federal Theatre . . . I understood nothing.
Nothing . . . I literally, literally, did not
understand one moment of the action.”

“TEA at the New Federal Theatre . . . has
some deeply cherished feelings about the
raw deal Blacks have gotten . . . that simply
don't make sense. . . . . [T]he play takes
place on a farm but the set design was a
big
double-masted sailing
ship . . . we
don't
deserve another play
like this until 2176.”
Edward Moran
Show Business, January 30,
1975
"Erwin
H. Lerner is a seminal force
