“This Craig Lucas play is wonderfully written and the direction by Bruce Elsperger is absolutely flawless, bringing out all the nuances in the writing... Darren Blaney as Robert’s ‘Shrink’ – gives a rich reflective performance... The production is exemplary... it’s the one Drama you should see. It’s chilling!”
“Bruce Elsperger’s direction is excellent. He is able to have the actors go from genuine to unreal with their monologues to the audience. The pacing is smooth with very little breaks in the changing of the scenes. The four member cast is first rate... Darren Blaney is effective in the role of the psychiatrist.”
