D.C. THEATRE SCENE
“A ‘provocative’ exploration of human nature that features STRONG, VIVID CHARACTERS…from three VASTLY TALENTED ACTORS.”

THE EXAMINER

“Lewis’ meditation on the juxtaposition of good and evil, grace and judgment—and his pondering whether the gates of hell are locked from the inside—is as CAPTIVATING as the original work…a thought provoking treat…LEWIS’ TRADEMARK WIT IS EVIDENT THROUGHOUT.”
