Reviews
“The Penitent is timely and exciting!”
NBC
“Bauer makes a hearty meal of Mamet’s juicy dialogue.”
Variety
“You can still hear a little of that old Mametian magic. The language is both casual and formal and the result can be wonderful — like Schubert scoring a boxing match.”
The New York Times
“One of America’s most influential dramatists.”
