DENISE BARRETT certified reviewer June 03, 2018
I found this show really interesting - we get to see the other side of the story from some of our historical/biblical villains. It's an interesting look at what is sin and is it always bad? Nicely unfolded story with really solid acting.... full review

Incredible show! Having one set-piece and basically one long scene is a tall task and yet this show nailed it! I was into it more and more as it went on and really cared for what the outcome would be! Great monologues and committed performances! I was more than honored to see this hidden gem!... full review

GO SEE THIS SHOW GO SEE THIS SHOW GO SEE THIS SHOW! Saw many of the fringe shows so far, this is a top FIVE for sure!!! I may be a bit dramatic but I wouldn’t be surprised if something like this ends up in New York. Go. See. This. Show.🙃... full review

Eight hostile people hanging around a bar... Well, that could lead anywhere (and has) but when The Bartender turns out to be The Devil you immediately have a good idea where you're headed! Fortunately, Ani Marderosian has written a smart cogent allegory and got an excellent cast (3 fem, 5 male) to play "real life" characters ranging from Biblical days to the American Revolution. (Spoiler Alert!) They're all Traitors of one sort or another, so if you've ever wondered what Delilah and Benedict Arnold might have to say to each other this is a pretty good guess---and it even comes to a Happy Ending, sort of!... full review

The show was fantastic! The writing and story was excellent and thought provoking. In addition, it was very well cast. Each of the ensemble members was very strong and contributed to the story. I particularly liked the characters of Salome, Judas and Lucifer. Alexa Vellanoweth's portrayal of Salome was both insightful and amusing at the same time. Her monologue brought to light the fancies of a young, spoiled girl yet was very touching. She brought a light heartedness to the play and a comedic element that was a good change of pace during some very serious scenes, yet she showed a level of maturity and insight in her contributions to the adult discussions. I would highly recommend this show.... full review
