A fine production

This is a good play--not great--but the acting is at an extremely high level. Also, the issues tackled are timely and interesting. Altogether, a strong entry for the LA Theaterworks series, and one that you will very much enjoy.

A riveting story

An well written and excellently acted play. A great piece that should foster thought and conversation about truth, beliefs, justice and denial.

As a companion piece to this play, I’d recommend the film “Denial” starting Rachel Weisz.

Completely unexpected, eye opening perspective.

I really didn’t know what this read would bring, I listened on a whim and I’m thankful I did. If you like live theatre and have time to listen, this is worth your time.
