"There's not a lot of fat to trim in KRISIT, a satire on Hollywood ... skewering the greed, vanity and bloated egos of Hollywood types is an easy target that has been done more times than Krisit's crow's-feet. But York's script has plenty of clever quips" ~ Robert Dominguez, Daily News

"In Y York's futuristic comedy RAIN. SOME FISH. NO ELEPHANTS., genetic engineering has produced a submissive nation of clones and drones. Everything is gene coded so all individuality can be obliterated, except for one stubbornly old-fashioned family trying to thaw the perpetual nuclear winter

That winter is actually an endless floodlike rainy season

The play begins as a kind of science-fiction variation on YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU with a wildly eccentric family resolutely staying out of the mainstream. In this case, the father is a crank who has quit his scientific post in a dehumanizing laboratory to go fishing. He neglects his suicidal wife and their two very odd daughters

The catalyst for renewal is a black man, cloned to be a member of a faceless servant class. Removed from his diet of 'stoppers', pills that deny incentive, he becomes a rebel. As conceived by York, he is an engaging figure, awakening to his personality as well as to his racial identity ... a thought provoking comic parable about mankind's indominability. As much as anything, the play is concerned with the survival of history itself" ~ Mel Gussow, The New York Times
