BackStage said of Darvish's performance: "Amir Darvish brings an almost Shakespearean theatricality, sardonic humor, and passionate intensity to his interpretation." "Darvish...keeps you riveted throughout." "Darvish sustains the illusion right till the end in bravura fashion."
The show moved to the Triad Theater (also in New York City) in January, 2004.
Darvish has appeared on several television shows, including: Spin City, NYPD Blue, Law & Order, and most recently TV You Control: Bar Karma.
