"Few topics in theater are trickier to bring off than spiritual queries. That makes 'The Golden Hour'...unusually noteworthy...(the play) succeeds through its core integrity, which director Jeff Liu and company locate with easy warmth...(Linda) Shing nails Laura's every beat, from opening account to final enigmatic gaze. Her colleagues respond accordingly, which sustains our interest in this unaffected treatise on the mysteries of divine intervention."
--THE L.A. TIMES
"Set in Los Angeles’ Korean-American community, Philip W. Chung’s compelling play about faith examines what connects us to other people....The actors deliver impeccable performances under Jeff Liu’s assured direction, and Chung’s smart and frequently humorous writing cleverly sidesteps the maudlin and the mawkish. "
--THE LA WEEKLY
"Telling a story that is either full of hope or full of despair is a fairly simple task. Telling one that looks squarely at both hope and despair is not so simple. The Golden Hour succeeds in striking a deeply sad and poignantly uplifting balance."
--THE STUDIO CITY/SHERMAN OAKS SUN
"A poignant story of redemption earned through emotional struggle, 'The Golden Hour' possesses fine acting and storytelling. Writer Philip W. Chung deftly examines what it means to be grateful and hopeful in a world of dark events and tragedies...Director Jeff Liu vividly brings the themes to life...The entire cast is outstanding...Production work is also first rate with excellent use of lighting, set pieces, and sound."
--THE TOLUCAN TIMES
