  • Christopher Soucy: The Bitch of Balaclava

    This is an evocative and beautifully executed theatrical experience. There is a peculiar balance between clinical distance and heartfelt intimacy. I would love to see this piece onstage.

    I was fortunate enough to be a part of an early staging of this script (2014) and can say it blew me away. Rich characters, smooth dialogue, and a gorgeous final image keeps this play in my all-time favorites.
