I would be at a loss for words if this show wasn't so moving. But it is. In fact, I could write a diatribe detailing all the nuances and specific subtleties that create a web of intricacies within the world of this piece that not only provides energetic, purposeful, calculated movements, speech, and soundscape/lighting design, but also provides a thought-provoking talking point about our government and the justice system. From characters moving in time to their speech to the exasperation of the characters matched by their visual placement, this piece is not only tight, complex, and fantastic, but the visual tableaus during each scene tells so much in so little as a breath or a raised eyebrow to enhance each beat of the story and each scen... full review

A fantastical, thought-provoking piece. An exploration of some of the harder questions we sometimes choose to ignore concerning the American justice system.

“In Conclusion:”, which reopens the most notorious murder case from Prohibition-era Chicago, is a brilliant exploration of a human rights issue that has divided America for two hundred years: capital punishment. Written, staged and performed with exceptional insight and artistry, realism and dark comedy, the play probes the inner struggles of the main players in the case: the twisted, tormented minds of the two murderers, and the equally tormented, idealistic minds of the opposing attorneys. With startling urgency, the play forces the audience to ask itself where it really stands on the death penalty. The audience must confront the issue as a matter of principle and not just a foregone “Conclusion” from yellowed tabloids and dusty old law bo... full review

Riveting from beginning to end. What I love about what Puckwit Gang does is that they take you on an unconventional journey and you just need to sit back and let it take you along. They also achieve great images and the direction and script are very strong.Thought provoking. This group is really unique and worth seeing.... full review
