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 ultimately strips the alienated characters of their defenses, revealing the bond that is both their curse and their salvation.” —Variety. ”Joe Pintauro's RAFT OF THE MEDUSA…grabs, holds, and harrows us with the chilling facts and cold statistics of mortality in the Age of AIDS. The play unquestionably hits home and hits hard."
