Press Reviews
"A disturbing revealing and totally absorbing study of the “underside” of glamorous Los Angles. ”Steppling's vision is his own, and his dramaturgy has been honed and etched to precise conventions that draw us in and hold us fascinated.“ —Los Angeles Herald-Examiner. ”…contains the kind of insight and personal vision of which true theatre is made, and his singular, inimitable approach may well be one of the paths future playwrights might follow. He is an original.“ —Drama-Logue. ”There is something compelling about his work that keeps you staring, voyeur-like, as his characters sink deeper and deeper into the urban slime."
— San Francisco Chronicle
