    “ My adrenalin started to pump from the very beginning of this short play. A stranger turns into someone familiar but not, as the woman tries to walk her dog and get safely home. Many twists and turns. Every woman's nightmare. ”

    “ I'm pretty sure I held my breath for all 12 pages of this gripping and all-too-timely play. Lamedman keeps you on the edge of your seat through the twists and turns of a story that reveals itself to be not quite what it seems at first. Expertly done! ”

    “ Debbie Lamedman writes with so much emotional honesty and poignant dialogue in INTO THE DARK. Starting with a frighteningly familiar encounter as a woman walks at night, the story expands to reveal a relationship with just as many dark turns and revelations. This play makes such a compelling drama for staged, outdoor, or podcast productions from a playwright who is masterful in crafting complete stories in ten minutes. ”
