The reviews are in for Hot Summer Nights production of Death and the Maiden and we couldn't be happier!!
Robert McDowell of Triangle Arts and Entertainment says
"...Campbell is the unheeded voice of reason, and McClutchey is a squirming victim or victimizer (take your choice). But it is also undeniable that this trio of terrific performers create three unforgettable characters that are the stuff that nightmares are made of...."

Roy C. Dicks of the News & Observer praises Death and the Maiden!!
"....the production delivers gripping, edge-of-your-seat entertainment, along with thought-provoking questions about justice and forgiveness."
"Tony nominee Alan Campbell proves his range as Gerardo, giving him a genuinely caring nature, torn by his wife’s need for revenge and his own wish to move forward. David McClutchey turns in a subtle performance as Roberto, lacing his protestations of innocence with just enough hesitation to instill doubt about their veracity."
"Benji Taylor Jones projects Paulina’s unhinged hysteria believably and is moving in her frank descriptions of the torture..."
"...Director Adam Twiss skillfully builds tension..."

This just in.... another RAVE review from Jeffrey Rossman at Classical Voice North Carolina
"Nobody Does it Better: Death and the Maiden at Hot Summer Nights at the Kennedy"
... "Benji Taylor Jones was Tony-award worthy as you never once doubted her emotional roller coaster ride as she fought with herself, her husband, and her captor as to what is the “right” thing to do. Alan Campbell as Gerardo beautifully portrayed the “voice of reason” – or was he merely a selfish coward protecting his new career? In addition to his superb acting, David McClutchey as Dr. Miranda had the unenviable task of being bound and gagged for lengthy periods of time. This was no stage trick. He was literally gagged with a cloth in his mouth and bound by several layers of duct tape."
"This has been placed near or at the top of my ten-best theatrical productions of 2010, so take a break from the summer fast food and go experience a nearly perfect theatrical event."
