Two Naked Angels

These two shows because they are compelling theater -- great writing, excellent direction and sensitive acting combined to move you, the way theater should.... full review

"Compelling" is a word that has been used about the two play production "Two Naked Angels", and I agree. Both "Death Unit" by Robert Gardner and "Lost Voices" by Rodney Nugent are intense, finely written and powerfully portrayed confrontations with very real emotion.
