RUSS BICKERSTAFF SAYS GO SEE TOTALITARIANS
  • “Director Jaimelyn Gray conjures a cleverly unbalanced comic energy to the stage for a very contemporary story of the frazzled political dynamics lurking deep in the ragged heart of the U.S.

  • Matthew Scales deftly wields a cleverly understated comic precision in the role of Francine’s husband.

  • Ekene Ikegwuani is a powerful presence onstage as a man of grand delusions . . .

  • Husband, wife and their accompanying psychotics are brought to a satisfying, darkly comic collision in a thoroughly satisfying comedy.” (Full Review)
