Review

"LaBute meticulously plans that the shocking, climatic revelations should cast dark light upon his apparently average people." --Nicholas de Jongh, "The Standard""" "LaBute's great gift is to live in and to chronicle that murky area of not knowing, which mankind spends much of its waking life denying." --John Lahr, "The New Yorker" "A piece whose intricate layers of treachery are worthy of David Mamet." --Paul Taylor, "The Independent"
