The Neurology of the Soul Reviews

"The acting is excellent, and the direction and writing superb....Writer/director Einhorn handles the depths of these kinds of dilemmas with an impressive ease. As a neuroscience writer, I can attest that this is difficult to achieve. "

— Stephen Macknik Scientific American

"A must-see...With an intriguing backdrop linking neuroscience, art, marketing/branding and human relationships, Einhorn raises questions about ethics and justice in his beautifully constructed, dynamic and mind-blowing work...The Neurology of the Soul startles, thrills and absolutely shimmers with light."

"The production's video design (by Magnus Pind Bjerre) and sound (by Sadah Espii Proctor) are excellent, particularly when Amy's exhibition takes over the set (by James Boutin)...Mr. Trumbull cracks to reveal pain, self-awareness and strong-willed dignity.  It's a subtle performance, the sneaky anchor to the show, and gradually we realize we've fallen for him."  

— Laura Collins-Hughes The New York Times

"Matthew Trumbull creates a refreshingly neuro-atypical yet in no way stereotypical characterization; Ashley Griffin embodies Amy with a granite integrity and perilous yearning; as Claire, Yvonne Roen is a dynamically armored truth-teller and subtly vulnerable, secret believer; and Mick O'Brien gives perhaps the performance of the year as Mark."

— Adam McGovern, HiLoBrow

"A fascinating creative deep dive into neuroscience and its application in 21st century marketing......All four performers give flawless performances...Einhorn's powerful directorial vision is evident in every moment."

— Jacquelyn Claire Stage Biz

"A fascinating, engaging, and ingenious evening of theatre...Einhorn has once again mastered an exhilarating balance of infusing a story with awe-inspiring ideas, characters we grow to deeply care about, and plenty of humor."

— Amy Oestreicher Broadway World

"Smart and stimulating."

— Jonathan Mandell New York Theater

"An ambitious play, delivered on much of this with clarity and humor...Don't miss this play. It needs to be extended. Although the cast was excellent, Ashley Griffin's Amy was quite a stand-out."
