Press Reviews
"…a tough ninety-minute play that succeeds in a difficult genre: stage noir…There are mysteries to unravel, and the threat of violence bubbles on the surface, but as with all good noir, the characters carry the suspense…What results is a taut drama that builds in tension, sexual and otherwise, and has enough surprises in the last five minutes to make a seasoned noir fan gasp…” —The New York Times. “Reddin, a literate playwright with an uncanny feel for styles and genres, is not content providing cheap thrills…Consequently, along with the dirty deeds, there are some searing moments in which the story takes on a fierce, savage dimension beyond pulp fiction."
— Chicago Tribune
