Dallas Morning News (Sunday April 2):

• “At Friday’s premiere, all the digging paid off in a strong emotional impact.”

• “This is the perfect live-action companion to the Titanic Artifacts exhibit…”
• “The play does a good job of indicting Ismay without demonizing him…”
• “… viewers will find their hearts aching at the pageant of suffering Mr. Wehrli’s play presents with dignity and tact.  He serves his obsession with honor.”

Fort Worth Star-Telegram (Thursday April 13):

• “One of Wehrli’s stated goals is to decry 'blind faith' in technology and huge corporations.  The play accomplishes this with disturbing eloquence…”

• “The human quotient is the most powerful element in Titanic Aftermath…  It comes across amazingly well”. 
• “One of the author Wehrli’s better ideas is to examine ship owner J. Bruce Ismay at the time of the disaster and many reclusive years later.”
• “Repercussions of Titanic worth a revisit.”
