Cleaner Than Blood

Immediately when the show began there was a chilling atmosphere in the room.(Maybe it helped that I was sitting directly under the AC) The suspense of learning more about these characters and their pasts kept us on the edge of our seats.... full review

A very compelling drama with intriguing plot twists! Alex Scott's direction is a wonderful complement to the story. I loved the sound and lighting design and how subtle time transitions were portrayed. I didn't care for the last monologue in the play--it seemed too poetic a reflection that didn't quite fit with the tone of the play. Other than that, it was an engaging, well-dramatized story. Glad I saw it.... full review

This play is a breath of fresh air in the midst of a humid summer where lighthearted fluff is all too common. Like the cool, metal innards of a grandfather clock, this play's cogs and wheels click and turn with precision and deadly certainty. Jen Silverman's writing is sharp and economic, and the actors are excellent - Kjai Block displays heartfelt vulnerability, Maggie Blake contains her pain behind a hardened coldness, and Austin Iredale is a live wire, exuding quiet torture. Director Alex Scott wisely keeps the action moving, letting the tension linger just long enough before driving the action forward, towards a chilling conclusion. ... full review

Really solid and well done. I enjoyed following the reveals and the way the tension was ratcheted up. And the closing monologues took it to a new level. ... full review
