Reviews
“Ms. Harris stocks her play with the classic elements of a thriller under the suspense-generating direction of Gaye Taylor Upchurch. The sense of simmering tension keeps us uneasily aware.”
the new york times
“Ms. McCann gives one of her strongest performances with steely menace, anguished honesty. Mr. Wilson’s hearty Richard is persuasive. Mr. Keleman gives a polished, canny performance.”
