A delayed review, I picked up the published version of "Rev" at the Drama Book Shop in NYC about two months ago, and I was immediately engrossed in the story of Camaro, Aston, and their father's auto shop. If you've never read a play by Rachel Bykowski, you should know that she is always an expert on her subject matter--and "Rev" is no exception. Bykowski carefully plaints a picture of growing up on Chicago's Southside, a hefty inheritance of mechanical knowledge, and how gender dynamics come into play in a blue collar midwestern family.
