“…The play is set in 1959, three years before Kline’s death. As it begins, be prepared for authentic dialogue. It is as if Franz himself has written the script, it rings so true. Kline’s spirit comes alive, entertaining the audience with a mixture of intellect, humor, and passion, his intrinsic love of art wrapped up in his most magnificent heart.

From the first scene in “A Part of the Noise,” we are voyeurs sharing private studio moments and conversations. It’s as if young Carl had been hiding behind the painting racks, taking notes….” -Rebecca Finsel, (Art Daily, July 24, 2024)
