"There are plenty of laughs in Keith Reddin's BRUTALITY OF FACT…a sequence of short, punchy scenes in which the playwright explores a family that is terminally dysfunctional…Credit Reddin's quirky way with dialogue and oddball confrontations. Some of his scenes could stand as fully formed mini one-act plays.“ —Copley News Service. ”In BRUTALITY OF FACT, the playwright continues to plumb the void of modern life and to expose our attempts to fill them. Like most of Reddin's work, BRUTALITY is written in brief, seamless, rapid-fire scenes…full of smart, snappy dialogue.“ —Chicago Sun-Times. ”In his smart and painfully funny new play, BRUTALITY OF FACT, Keith Reddin's…dialogue is so funny…that the play…becomes a resounding triumph of laughter over despair…a painfully funny view of our ongoing struggle to make sense out of human existence."
— Daily Herald
