“It is hardly surprising that “The Boys Next Door”, Tom Griffin’s first play having its premier at the McCarter Theater , is emotionally appealing. It is the story of four retarded men living in a city apartment and working at simple jobs. Mr. Griffin avoids most controversial aspects of the subject and concentrates on the men’s hopes”.

Alvin Klein NY Times

“But wonder one must, for the new play by Tom Griffin at the “renewed” McCarter Theater is all about the mentally handicapped. Is it a laughing matter?
It takes an audience time to figure out just what the playwright is up to. By the end of the first act , at least , there is a clue.”
