by Jonathan Tolins
The Halle Theatre at the Jewish Community Center, Cleveland, Ohio 1997
Toni Fromson as "Suzanne" and Jon Meyer as "Rob"
"Twilight of the Golds raises important questions about the effects of homophobia, the morality of genetic research and the meaning of unconditional love"
"A provocative, sometimes eloquent play, it can keep you thinking about and debating the issues long after it is over -- and that makes it worth seeing"
"The Halle production is ... a strong one, ably directed by Fred Sternfeld"
"David...played with considerable charm by Michael McIntosh"
"Jeanne Task and Mitchell Fields take stereotypes in the script and create rounded characters. Fields, especially, is wonderful, never overdoing a role that could be milked for laughs"
Marianne Evett, The Plain Dealer, 1996
Toni Fromson as "Suzanne" and Mitchell B. Fields as "Walter"
“Moving”
“Fred Sternfeld’s direction and a fine cast makes the transformation real”
"Michael McIntosh is outstanding"
"Jeanne Task is excellent as the overarching mother"
"Toni Fromson is convincing"
"Mitchell Fields' anguish and disappointment as the conflicted father is ... palpable"
