nytheatre.com wrote this about writer and director Michael Thomas Cain's work, Cain's script is sharp and subtle. Cain also does a fine job directing a talented cast of two. Together their onstage chemistry reeks of commitment to these odd characters. Enough's Enough is good fringe theater. It is fresh, dark and out of the ordinary. FringeNYC is good for finding bold new voices and performers. This show delivers both.


Danielle Boss of Drama Queens Reviews says this about FIFTEEN MINUTES WITH ELLEN, produced by Forgotten Artist Productions and directed by Michael Thomas Cain, "This prophetic play is important for all to see with its mesmerizing characters, riveting storyline, and remarkable performances that move you to tears. Truly a special and unique play that you really do not want to miss.
