The play is an adult sex comedy which takes place on a single day:  November 7, 2000, Election Day.  The story focuses on three couples in their mid- to late-thirties who get together to watch the election returns.  The couples are grappling with the same thing the rest of the country was grappling with:  do they stay the course or do they opt for change?

“It’s refreshing to read a script that was clearly written for educated, savvy adults.  His story assumes a certain amount of intelligence on the part of its audience.  It’s something of a surprise to read a script about sex that doesn’t talk down to its audience.”  - James Glover, Bush Theatre

“I’d like to congratulate Brian on how he literally brought the national crisis home, showing how it affects everyday people.  His play is an engaging comic examination of the insidiousness and indifference that has seeped into contemporary relationships.  The structural cleverness of simultaneous action, the sharp writing and compelling characters all contribute to make CONCESSIONS the successful wry wicked comedy of manners that it is.  The cinematic nature of the play effectively communicates the extent to which his characters -- and the nation at large -- are rocked from their very foundation of deceit.”  - Liz Engleman, McCarter Theatre

“CONCESSIONS was an enjoyable read, and it shows a great deal of deftness in dialogue.  The way in which he has orchestrated the action in the fragmented scenes is also an admirable feat.”  - Kyle Brenton, Pittsburgh Public Theatre

“His writing shows a strong sense of wit and pacing and craft; certainly the themes are timely.”  - Marge Betley, GeVa Theatre

"He has written an engaging play which hilariously juxtaposes sex with politics.”  - Amy Levinson, Geffen Playhouse
