Smoke

Not for the squeamish, it's dark, provocative and extremely well acted.... full review

Really fun seeing this 80 minute cross-section of these two people's lives, and trying to figure out exactly what they want.... full review

A powerful theatrical experience, in just 80 minutes. Well done! ... full review

Very unique story. Dark, sexy, and, at times, humorous. Deals with the dark side of sex and the universal need to belong somewhere. 90 full min with no "intermish".... full review

Smoke is scary and sexy and totally engrossing. A two handler beautifully directed by Lisa James and acted within an inch of its life by Emily James and Patrick Stafford. A riff on Miss Julie that tears itself apart at the seams as the two characters play out their fantasies. This is theatre at its best and should not be missed.... full review

Powerful, disturbing theater with enough humor and humanity to make its audience care. It will stay in your soul long after you've left the theater.... full review

Great Theatre Venue. Brilliant production.... full review

This production is well staged and directed with very talented actors. Rogue Machine again excels as it always does with another quality production. However, I found the script to be uneven, while sometimes engrossing and sexy at other times it is pedestrian and immature. I am in the minority in that I was not really moved by the story line.... full review

A dark, disturbing, compelling, powerful, and rather cynical, view of the world of relationships as experienced by today's youth. A group of individuals that has grown up during the explosion of information provided by technology (smart phones, the internet, etc.) somehow appears more overwhelmed, and lost, than previous generations. They cynically have "all the answers" about subjects like kinky sex, but appear completely out of touch with the more important questions about relationships and intimacy. Emily James and Patrick Stafford are terrific actors! They shine! In their capable hands, we never lose sight of the humanity of their characters, in spite of their jadedness. We find ourselves rooting for them, hoping they'll find happiness!... full review
