No More Workhorse
''Reilly and Fenton are razor sharp. It is a great pleasure to watch them as they bring to life Reilly’s whip-smart text… its fertile ground for high comedy, and Reilly knows how to write it. Reilly and Fenton together know how to perform it. In addition to his writing and acting skills, Reilly, with a fine voice, sang, unaccompanied, a verse from the Old Triangle. He is a young man of many talents.''
