Face Divided

It was a dark night of the soul for two tragic lovers. The stage melted away and I was engulfed in this gut wrenching scene that left me stunned and wanting more at the end. A third of the way through and I remember thinking, wow, I get to be here to watch something so unique. It was more than I could have ever expected. I saw the play’s posters that said “raw”, “honest”, and “devastating,” but it’s something I couldn’t have prepared for in the best way. The actors didn’t miss a single beat. Their chemistry of playing dysfunction was masterful. For their first show of the festival, it was flawless! If I could describe this production in three words, it would be intimate, twisted, and vulnerable.... full review

From the top of the show I was invested. I thought all three of the actors were solid and grounded in their work. I saw the show at 10:30pm with a fairly large crowd, definitely worth staying up past my PJ time! ... full review

Face Divided is a tight, suspenseful piece that keeps your eyes glued for what may happen next. Each of the three performers is outstanding in carrying the show at various intervals, and working together as an ensemble, their tension crackles. At the heart of the story is a horrific act of violence, which, in the hands of this cast, feels surprisingly human. The actors pull off the feat of making something so tense be delightful to watch. A “must see” show.... full review
