The Cast
Reviews
“It’s a fine production…The cast is solid. Director Regan…[is] working honestly and without melodrama.”
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
“Steppenwolf ensemble member Molly Regan…cast it impeccably…Krag, lean and taut, is just the right counterpoint to Hamman’s overt, sometimes inadvertently funny nutcase. And Spence, a dark beauty, has expertly captured the strained speech and behavior of her damaged character. And designer John Dalton’s marvelous architectural set will have you fantasizing about coming up with a down payment.”
