This is Art, insightful, outraged and baffled, and yes, it is going to hurt… The play stews documentary history, politics and moral philosophy into a suspense thriller; this strong cast gives you all the reality you can handle. Devastating…filled with riveting scenes… the result is exhilarating.

Gripping…a journey into hell.

3-1/2 stars.
