“One often hears how film is a director’s
medium, on the stage the actor is king, but
in this instance the cast has graciously
abdicated its primacy to the vision of director,
Michael Matthews, and the result is a darkly
thrilling production that manages to be
practically seamless.”
–BACKSTAGE
“Matthews and his remarkable forces fuse
various theatrical techniques together with
arresting results.”
–LA TIMES
