Review
PICK UP AX...has a smart, sassy script that's studded with bright, funny dialogue.... Clarvoe's very hip script centers on the fortunes of two bright young men, Keith Rienzi and Brian Weiss, who have bootstrapped themselves from a free-wheeling, penny-ante operation into a multi-million dollar computer software corporation through Keith's inventive brilliance and Brian's business instincts. But at twenty-seven, Keith is losing some of his whiz-kid brain, Brian's financial pipeline is drying up, and their supplier is refusing to deliver vital microchips to them. Just when these two aging wunderkind are facing disaster, in walks...Mick Palomar, a slick operator armed with an M B A and a flair for old-fashioned extortion. --Richard Christiansen, Chicago Tribune
PICK UP AX is a fast, funny, entertaining play about a fascinating subject: the growing pains of the personal computer industry.... PICK UP AX is likely to be an audience-pleaser because of the sheer exuberance and wit of the script.... --Brin., Variety

This review is from: Pick Up Ax (Paperback)
PICK UP AX is worth reading (or attending, or producing) not merely for its setting in Silicon Valley around 1980, but because it is a well-written, funny, and thought-provoking character study. In the hands of a skilled director and accomplished actors, a production could be very satisfying. The script calls for only three characters, but plenty of lighting and sound effects; these factors would make it an excellent choice for a black-box drama student project. To recreate the feel of 1980, the script calls for a box of 5-1/4" disks and sound clips from the likes of The Rolling Stones and Led Zepplin. Fans of such pop-culture treasure chests as MST3K, Pop-up Video, and the Shatner-as-Shatner comedy Free Enterprise will enjoy the casual references to Star Trek, Star Wars, Lost in Space, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, et al.
