Every play I've ever written has gotten a rave from someone, a pan from someone and a mixed review from someone else. None of my plays have gotten universal pans or universal raves. But my favorite quote of all time regarding my plays is this one: "Not worth the gas to get to the theatre!" That's a great line. Here are some others.

SCENES FROM MY LOVE LIFE: "Plays out like an erotic dream...invigorating, entertaining and insightful...demands to be seen."  Chad Jones, BAY AREA REPORTER

MAKING PORN: "Uninhibited comedy! Street level exuberance!" Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES

10 NAKED MEN: “…the show also has a certain effervescent appeal…the dialogue bubbles along wittily…the pacing of the short black-out scenes is tonic…sending up the Hollywood mindset is pretty easy sport but Larsen does it with flair.” Steven Winn, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

PEEP SHOW: "And thanks to its flawless cast and the smooth direction of Mr. Larsen, his 90-minute intermission-less excursion behind the scenes of peep parlors that beckon in places like midtown Manhattan adds up to a good time. The characters in the show at Actors' Playhouse are engaging; the humor is winning; the conflicts are genuine, and the music lively." Lawrence Van Gelder, NEW YORK TIMES

ALL-MALE PEEP SHOW: “…alternates between a fairly trenchant satire on the male porn industry and at time moving piece about the individuals who populate it.” Christopher Byrne, LGNY NEWS

SHOOTING PORN: LIVE ON STAGE!: “Surprisingly entertaining and too, too funny.” Wenzel Jones, BACKSTAGE WEST

GIRL MEETS GIRL “A four-star crowd-pleaser…the most thoroughly satisfying lesbian comedy since the award-winning "Valsetz" (1997). This highly agreeable romantic sitcom is a wise and witty view of girl-to-girl courtship in the modern age.” Les Spindle, FRONTIERS MAGAZINE

MY BOYFRIEND THE STRIPPER: "My Boyfriend the Stripper is spanking good medicine for tortured hearts and mildewed libidos.” Anita Schmaltz, DETROIT METRO TIMES

A FEW GAY MEN: "...explores some tough questions with fascinating frankness." Robert Hurwitt, SF CHRONICLE

SLEEPING WITH STRAIGHT MEN: "Torn from the headlines, but a lot more entertaining, ‘Sleeping With Straight Men’ may turn out to be this summer's surprise hit play. The 90-minute romp had the audience at Friday's opening cheering at the end." Octavio Roca, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

COCKSUCKER: A LOVE STORY: "Cocksucker: A Love Story is Larsen’s most personally revealing play to date, and its 95 minutes are packed with comedy, drama, romance, sex, satire, tragedy, and social commentary. All in all, it's quite a feat."  Richard Dodds, BAY AREA REPORTER

CHARLIE THE SEX ADDICT MEETS 4 HOOKERS: "The acting in both is as refined as the blend of farce and poignancy in Larsen’s staging." Steven Leigh Morris, LA WEEKLY

SHOOTING PORN (THE DOCUMENTARY): "Hilariously raunchy! Suggests a sense of humor is as crucial as the more obvious requirements for being a performer in gay male erotica." Kevin Thomas, LOS ANGELES TIMES
