Picture Ourselves in Latvia :

"The characterizations are rich, and Mr Howard's script, punctuated with absurdist deadpan opportunities, has a promising Monty Pythonesque tone. "

The New York Times

"This play is the real deal: both light and heavy, romantic and cynical, and always bracingly unpredictable .... It seems like a romantic comedy sometimes, but then this recedes and some kind of dangerous political point emerges like the fin of a shark in the water .... a little miracle."

"Best of 2014" by L Magazine

No One Loves Us Here :

"Like a bored 19-year-old burning ants alive on a summer's day, No One Loves Us Here takes a magnifying glass to an already disintegrating notion of white class and laughs as gleefully as Bart Simpson .... congratulations to Ross Howard for playing me like a violin the entire length of the play. " - OnStage Magazine

"Howard's new work illustrates the characteristically 21st Century sentiments of unbridled selfishness, feigned apathy, and perennial discontent. His pointed, political indictment of our skewed American values is simultaneously too hard to watch and too illuminating to ignore. No One Loves Us Here is an entertaining, engaging bloodbath that leaves its audience thinking lots and feeling little. Perhaps this is as it should be." - Theatrescene.net

Our Walk Through The World :

"An entertaining and fast-paced night of quirky comedy sprinkled with poignant emotional observations . . . a playwright who clearly has a unique and promising ability to combine humour and drama. The push and pull created by Howard's habit of addressing everyday human issues and emotions within peculiar and uncanny situations makes for a night of pleasing theatre." One Stop Arts

"The six short plays were excellent throughout, all added up all in all to a very funny often challenging and not always easy to watch night at the theatre . . . a roller coaster of emotions. Big hearty laughs throughout then touching tender moments slapped us in the chops . . . an epic evening indeed." Remotegoat

"'The World of Ross Howard may not be that of yours and mine - it is anarchic, irreverent and often very funny. A challenge waiting to be picked up." Prompt Magazine
