Masterfully written by David Castro and simplistic yet highly specific direction by Dennis Neal, guide Tim Powell's performance through this challenging and difficult subject matter with excellent comedic timing, smooth transitions, and genuine voice characterization.

Man's Dominion asks us to reflect on the staggering question of liberty, and what it means to "have a right". Expertly written and unapologetic, it is easy to see why alert audience members may find themselves derailed of sturdy opinions, as we are guided through the perspective of many characters fixated on deciphering their own answer to the question. The lynching of an elephant may seem grandiose and impersonal to us at first, but the heart of this play is relevant and mind-bending. The lingering effects of the power of choice and results of action resound through ourselves are we are left sympathetic and dually horrified at the many faces of humanity.... full review

Man's Dominion is without a doubt one of the CAN'T MISS shows this year at the Hollywood Fringe. I went to see it this Sunday evening and was absolutely blown away.

Man's Dominion is a daring journey back in time to rural Tennessee. It's daring in the sense that it addresses a number of currently controversial areas which, at the time, were not very controversial. While the material is not shocking, it is certainly alarming. It's daring in the sense that when you already know how the story ends based on the promotional materials, then you have to provide compelling enough content to hold the attention of the audience which may or may not already be uncomfortable with some of he references. And it's daring in the sense that ONE ACTOR has the job of playing every character, often revolving the fully fleshed out characters around each other creating a storytelling web from which I did not want to i... full review
