WHAT CRITICS SAY:


“An explosive, deeply affecting study of alienation and the redemptive power of love. “…a wrenching love story that swept through the downtown Circle in the Square last night like a tidal wave.” —NY Daily News. “


…the play is the equivalent of sitting at ringside watching a prize fight that concludes in a loving embrace.” —NY Times.


“…a funny, frightening, hypnotically fascinating evening of theatre…” —Drama-Logue.


“Danny” will be read by Axial Ensemble Member Anthony Barresi Jr and “Roberta” by Eve Cuccaro. Directed by Axial Artistic Director Cady McClain.
