"Joe Salvatore’s III smoulders with talent. Salvatore is the real star of the production. He has directed with the same careful intelligence with which he has written the drama--and proves himself to be a capable actor as well. Salvatore has brilliantly dramatized the psychology of these gifted artists living in a gay enclave before the Gay Liberation Movement."

“Yet ‘III’ can be easily applied to the show’s creator, Joe Salvatore, who proves to be the most gifted triple-threat I’ve encountered at the Fringe this season. He wrote, directs, and stars in this magnificent production that feels like, with just a little re-jiggering, it belongs in a regular run in the Off-Broadway Cherry Lane Theater.”

"Salvatore’s prowess at pure dramatic construction serves him equally well, especially as he charts the salient moments when Wheeler, Wescott, and Lynes cohabitated together on East 89th Street. The actors — Salvatore as Wescott, John Del Vecchio as Wheeler, and Daryl Embry as Lynes — beautifully calibrate the curving, winding shape of their unlikely romantic and emotional bonds. Physically, psychically, and otherwise, their chemistry is extraordinary. They are — like the notable men they play — a fabulous trio for the ages."

"Salvatore has created three extremely complicated, complex, and flawed individuals in his piece. Each character resonates; each portrayal is heartfelt. III is an extremely worthy addition to this year’s FringeNYC. If you have only a couple of Fringe shows to see, make sure one of them is III."
