MixedThe New York TimesThe trouble with Peter Spiegelman’s Dr. Knox is that — even as its sentences sometimes sparkle — the plot winds up, then down, with elaborate back stories and comic-book soliloquies substituting for any real skin in the game ... The plot gears start grinding when a woman shows up at Knox’s clinic with a young boy who’s suffering a severe allergy attack. The woman disappears as Knox is treating the child...Knox and the Brays must face off for good, and various mysteries, including the matter of the child’s parentage, are resolved in a series of declamations punctuated by righteous violence ...
