"..Campbell is the unheeded voice of reason, and McClutchey is a squirming victim or victimizer (take your choice). But it is also undeniable that this trio of terrific performers create three unforgettable characters that are the stuff that nightmares are made of...."

Roy C. Dicks of the News & Observer praises Death and the Maiden!!

"....the production delivers gripping, edge-of-your-seat entertainment, along with thought-provoking questions about justice and forgiveness."

"Tony nominee Alan Campbell proves his range as Gerardo, giving him a genuinely caring nature, torn by his wife’s need for revenge and his own wish to move forward.

"...Director Adam Twiss skillfully builds tension..."
