Reviews
“an exceptionally satisfying production that has been staged with surgical skill by James Bohnen…Nick Sandys, Jenny McKnight and Linda Gillum all give tightly coiled performances that keep the tension rising all the way from curtain to curtain.”
-Wall Street Journal
“Dazzlingly taut and electrifying…A perfect jewel of a play, with a production to match… Remy Bumppo reminds us of [Pinter’s] greatness.”
-Chicago Sun-Times
“Luminous…McKnight shows us the myriad colors of Kate…it’s a gorgeous performance.”
-Chicago Tribune
“Linda Gillum in top form as a wonderfully worldly soubrette.”
-Chicago Sun-Times
“Sandys, a deceptively complicated actor capable of making a rapid journey from the needy and warmly genial to the malevolent and the facially dead.”
-Chicago Tribune
“Deftly executed…plays up the dark humor in Pinter’s fraught exchanges.”
