JIM LOWE - THE TIMES ARGUS
"Vermont playwright Tamar Cole's intense drama was given a deeply troubling, as well as touching first performance by the Northfield-based professional Dirt Road Theater"
"This preview performance was an example of excellent ensemble acting by three Vermont actors."
"the intensity that gives this play its power never flags"
"What makes this play riveting is that each of the characters' roles in this power struggle are changing all the time — unpredictably but always psychologically apt."
"Dirt Road Theater, led by the Spillanes, has scored a real hit for serious straight theater with its debut production. We're ready for more, much more."
ALEX BROWN - SEVEN DAYS
"These three performances crackle like a mesmerizing fire... the actors fascinate from start to finish."
"Langdon Spillane plays Kathryn with a deep vein of vulnerability that she hides with strict composure and a proud set to her jaw."
"Caswell has a genius for allowing emotions to roll over her, one by one, so we can see them register."
"…Shaw excels at showing the character's woundedness, leaving Rachel and Kathryn unnerved."
SYNOPSIS
Past injuries, unresolved tensions, and current needs are all at stake for Rachel, ex-wife; Sasha, 16-year-old-daughter; and Kathryn, girlfriend; to Robert, a successful writer and longtime high-functioning alcoholic. After too many drinks at a book party, Robert ends up in a life-threatening coma. The three women are confined to a private waiting room just outside Robert's hospital bed where they grapple with what to do, who's to blame, and how to relate to one another during this inevitable yet unplanned crossroads.
