Bob Abelman

Political thrillers are precarious things. So much rides on precise writing to generate intrigue, provocative staging to maintain deception and tension, and perfect execution to make the characters believable and the journey worthwhile. While the writing is first-rate, some of the staging and acting choices in this production detracts from it.

Mark Horning
Hamstrung with weighty dialog and totally preposterous coincidences, the cast manages to shoulder through without too much loss of honor in spite of the silly accents.  Technical problems during the play added to the turmoil of an already weak script that made it clear that Paulina was not the only one being tortured, the audience suffered as well.  This play is in dire need of a reboot.

Christine Howey
Director Katia P. Schwarz keeps the tension ratcheting up on the small Kennedy’s at PlayhouseSquare stage while allowing the personalities of the characters to emerge.
