    Dark and tense. I love the unseen captive. Puts the audience in the position of holding all the drama, fear, terror, hope and sadness. Very powerful.

    This play made me sweat, in the best way possible! Steven G. Martin has crafted one of the most interesting characters I've read in a play. Abe is someone we fear as much as we empathize with, which created a dynamic I've never encountered in a play, and if I have, it has not been executed with this degree of precision. It's a total shame that this play hasn't been produced in over 10 years, if I was a theatre company looking for a unique and compelling play for their short play festival, A Humble Path would be the one!

    Dark, disturbing and DEEPLY ENGAGING. This thrilling monologue keeps you on edge from start to finish. We slowly discover why we are on this terrifying ride. Yes, Abe is a character we are very frightened of, but we learn how he got to this place, and our feelings slowly shift. And yet the terror remains! Truly, an amazing ride!
