Here's what the critics are saying:

"Under the direction of Jimmy McDermott, the dramatic progress displays the formality of classical pre-Renaissance art, while also invoking the suppressed emotions reflective of the 19th-century literary movement also designated "gothic", its measured pace generating a tension so palpable that the snap of a pop-top, or the crunch of a discarded beer can crushed beneath a merciless foot, conveys all the menace of an ammunition round chambered in a rifle. The mostly young actors likewise never succumb to twitchy self-consciousness, but retain a concentrated focus their every onstage moment."

"...superlative ensemble work..."
 
~Mary Shen Barnidge, Windy City Times

"...the production provides a potent emotional punch.  We'll be watching for this group."
 
"...the feeling of simultaneous claustrophobia and wide-open emptiness is beautifully evoked both by the simple set (a dirt-platform "cornfield" and a metal bed) and the way the actors inhabit it."
 
~Ruth Welte, TimeOut Chicago
