Press Reviews

"Employing an imaginative, Pirandelloesque play-within-a-play format, this compelling, suspenseful work brings together a group of volatile, creative people under conditions in which the dramatic elements of the play they are rehearsing are soon paralleled in the real lives of the participants—with emotionally shattering results. “…a superbly crafted theatre piece whose story unfolds with the skillful suspense of a good thriller.” —The Hollywood Reporter. “…gripping…as the play develops it gathers momentum…” —New York Post. “…Medoff creates the kinds of climaxes that explode with drama."
