SON OF A BITCH

Such a poignantly written play that goes beyond the personal story of Lee Atwater, and effortlessly sheds a light on the behind-the-scenes (and in front of the camera) of American politics today. Congratulations all around!... full review

Smart, playful, provocative, and timely. Really loved this production. The cast is fantastic in bringing a slice of the life of Lee Atwater to the stage. I hate the guy in real life, but this show brings you to the magnetic energy that made his amoral political strategies so effective. ... full review

Great show, highly recommend! Interesting subject matter and a compelling protagonist. The writing and timing felt very tight, not a lull at any point in the show!... full review

A tremendously impressive effort about a political insider whom most people probably don't realize is responsible for a large part of the world they live in right this second. Solid writing, inventive staging, dazzling performances abound. A fine way to kick off my L.A. theatrical experience!... full review

A smart, witty, and entertaining behind-the-scenes look of a moment in American politics.... full review

A historial/political drama, on par with any professional production I've seen of the genre. Smart, well-paced and relevant. Made me think about the tracks that have been laid to get us where we are as a country today. ... full review

This show ran so smoothly. No hiccups and engaging from start to finish. Lucy Gillespie condenses and explains the complexities of campaigning in a way that any audience member can follow. Her writing humanizes larger than life historical figures and unveils their character in a relatable way. Great writing, great directing, great acting. Political theatre often revolves around idea, but Son of Bitch successfully makes politics about people instead of heady principles. Would see again. ... full review

SON OF A BITCH is tightly scripted, effectively staged, and acted with verve and humor. A fascinating look at the power behind the throne, and the early days of a type of win-at-all-costs politics that led us to where we are today. ... full review
