Press Reviews

"Against the backdrop of the rock music scene, this contemporary comedy combines love, lust and lying. ”Steven Dietz has got it right—and made it fresh. A rock 'n' roll La Ronde,TRUST sketches out the bumps and grinds of coupling and uncoupling in the '90s. Braced with smart, quick dialogue, it is informed by sharp knowingness and an appreciation that, hey, there have been those hot moments…Dietz has a literary leaning, which results in some delightful flights of language…Though the play's supposed theme is “trust,” it's really about the fleetingness of passion. And the way it circles back on itself etches in its meaning for a sharper pang."
