What happens when a James Bond-like spy gets sent to rehab because of his drinking, gambling, womanizing and anger issues? You get THE SPY WHO WENT INTO REHAB. It's a comedic look at how an outdated male relic who still embodies Toxic Masculinity learns to think differently, courtesy of a colorful group of woke, self-aware recovering addicts. His journey to enlightenment gets derailed, however, when his archenemy shows up for a final confrontation.
THE SPY WHO WENT INTO REHAB is a cheeky, high-spirited, brilliant new world premiere comedy ... This sexy, adventurous romp follows a simple and hilarious premise - what would happen if James Bond were court-ordered to rehab? Gloriously irreverent, and often, surprisingly endearing and touching, THE SPY WHO WENT INTO REHAB is so much fun ... THE SPY WHO WENT INTO REHAB triumphs on many levels. It is an outrageous, SNL-style, sexy spoof. A loving homage to 007 and classic spy films and shows. An irreverent comedy about the language endemic to therapy, recovery groups, workplace workshops, and the artist formerly known as Twitter. It is also a feminist critique of playboy culture. A thoughtful exploration of addiction and recovery. A nuanced meditation on modern masculinity. On a human level, there is a sweet, poignant story of healing and second chances, with a protagonist who, in spite of being a James Bond super spy, ends up being relatable and endearing. This is all a credit to the inventive, imaginative, brilliant writing by playwright Gregg Ostrin ... To say too much about the play would be to spoil the delightful, wacky, wild twists and turns of the plot. -Amanda Callas, broadwayworld.com

... a treat, seeing THE SPY WHO WENT INTO REHAB ... -Leigh Kennicott, showmag.com
... Gregg Ostrin's THE SPY WHO WENT INTO REHAB [is] a darned good farcical and absurdist comedy ... The plot line is clever, with unexpected twists and turns that recoil back around themselves. -Sarah A Spitz, stageandcinema.com
