Review by BERNARD BAYER

June 11, 2025 certified reviewer

What I liked

This is a brave work that takes an unflinching look at some of the darkest material one can write about. I left the theatre horrified by AND empathizing with the characters and haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Highly encourage others to check this out.

What I didn't like

Actors portray quiet intensity with great effect, but could project just a touch more.

My overall impression

An edgy, psychologically disturbing play that challenges our notions of morality and trauma. An ensemble cast brought to life this story about family, grief and the loss of innocence. Well written and acted; I enjoyed the use of the “greek chorus” to assist in quick set changes while simultaneously propelling the story forward with ominous intensity. Go check it out for yourself!
