“The beauty of Ike Holter’s play is how deftly Holter turns a sensational incident into the catalyst for a complex morality tale . . . all the performances in this fine production reveal the full power and grace in Holter’s story. From the first moments of the play we are pulled in, and we remain enthralled throughout.” —Jack Helbig, Chicago Reader “. . . a modern masterpiece… The cast in this production is superb… director Lili-Anne Brown’s vision make this production just as powerful as the premiere, if not more so” —Mary Kroeck, NewCity “Set in Chicago, it’s a chilling drama about the kind of crime that often goes unreported and leaves its victims to navigate their lives from a place of distrust and shame and rage . . . Holter’s dialogue is scathing in its exploration of the intersection of racism and privilege and violence . . . The cast is flawless” —Catey Sullivan, Windy City Times
