"Marie (Barrett) is a kind of balm, but she’s no patsy. She has a temper, and she turns out to be a match for the wild Deirdre."

-New York Times Review



"The actress you should track most closely in the play is Susan Barrett. She plays Marie, a young widow with a child who retains a sunny and generous disposition despite the trials and tribulations of her daily life. The recognizable humanity that Barrett brings to the role allows the audience to see Marie as a heroine when, after her comforting vision of the world is shattered, she must once again find her emotional bearings. In the hands of a lesser actress, the character might be viewed by the audience as a simpleton who refuses to deal with reality. The inspiring truth of the matter is that Barrett's Marie accepts reality and then rises above it. Her performance is extraordinary."

"(Susan Barrett is delightfully wicked as Charlie), 1000 RPM dialogue and an explosive conclusion make Never one of the slickest pieces of Off-Off theater going"

"If Barrett teeters on the edge of caricature as the caffeinated arts-and-crafts addict Marcie, she’s just right as the professional and deceptively warm Ms. Boyd, who carries an important secret or two of her own." 

-Talkin Broadway Review

"As Frankie, the husky-voiced Susan Barrett excels in creating a woman of 41 who long ago learned that miracles don't happen. She excels in showing a polite lack of optimism. Barrett calibrates her performance wonderfully, so chink after chink appears in her substantial armor."

"Nurse Susie Monahan, tenderly played by Susan Barrett...turn this character  into a tribute to the worlds most sympathetic nurses."


-The Star-Ledger

Top Girls
Pulse Ensemble

"The cast actually worked better as an ensemble than the cast of the original production at the Public Theatre... Susan Barrett's broad turn as an armor-clad maiden in the first scene was quite funny"


-Off Off Broadway Reviews
"Her humanity [Barrett], desire for love, ability to project feelings wordlessly through movement, was almost overwhelming."
-Michael Munger, WUNC 91.5 FM ‘The State Of Things’ radio program aired November 29, 2005

"Barrett infuses her plain-spoken characters with boisterous charm."
-Orla Swift, The News & Observer NC, November 22, 2005 

"This production with an ever-game Susan Barrett, finds its stride in a final arc & facilitates the return of the titled object."
-Bryon Woods, INDY Arts & Entertainment, November 23, 2005
