Press Reviews
"A taut ninety-minute drama that drives home the reality of AIDS as a disease that we all must face. “RAFT OF THE MEDUSA…is as disturbing as it is moving. RAFT is an absorbing work that careens from fierce anger to unabashed sentimentality.

The play unquestionably hits home and hits hard."
