ERIK PATTERSON

playwright

The Los Angeles Times says "Veteran theater provocateur Erik Patterson stings once again in One of the Nice Ones."

ONE OF THE NICE ONES is currently playing at the Echo Theater in Atwater Village, Los Angeles. 

"Black comedy at its very best. This ninety-minute, high-speed romp has so much going on that could offend the overly sensitive, that it is hard to know where to start. Blunt, crude sexual language, tightly coiled, cynical, manipulative characters whose behavior is beyond the pale makes for a delicious feast of fun, for those who love bold, in-your-face theatre." -- Paul Myrvold's Theatre Notes

"Expect the unexpected—and then some—in Erik Patterson’s One Of The Nice Ones, an edge-of-your-seat dark comedy so filled with 'I didn’t see that coming' twists that it’s almost impossible to review without revealing a spoiler or two, but I’ll do my best, while at the same time still providing a taste of the latest from one of L.A.’s most exciting contemporary playwrights now making his Echo Theatre Company debut." -- Steven Stanley, StageSceneLA

"Highly recommended for those with a skewed sense of humor and a high threshold for the language of Henry Miller or maybe Christopher Durang on acid. It's a shocking and a totally unexpected rush." -- Michael Sheehan, On Stage Los Angeles
