    I never knew where this little caper was headed and was intrigued the entire time by “the incident.” Loretta is an awesomely appealing character who comes off as intimidating and even a little threatening to the guys, who apparently come along to mitigate the danger, which Lamedman quickly spins to comic advantage. With lighthearted feminist undertones, this play is surprising and delightful. Loretta would be a fun character for a series of her own!

    I always love it when a play is not about what the characters think it’s about, and such is the case in Debbie Lamedman’s The Incident. A comic-ish mystery-ish about confronting a scary neighbor over a suspected crime — which turns out to be both less and much more than anyone thinks — this sly little play is more revealing about the characters and their relationship dynamics than some of them ever realize. Great fun on several levels.

    This play is more loaded than the prop gun in the script! What a fun bunch of characters and a tension-filled ride--right up until the cool twist at the end. Bonus points too for "DANI's" character growth and an important lesson from LORETTA.

    It's always difficult to confront someone when you don't know them, but a situation arises where you have to confront them. Dani and her husband, along with his friend Tim (think two buffoons) are looking for Lucy, the cat, when Loretta surprises them. There's a gun and booze and tension and humor and a surprise ending. Fun!

    I love how this play takes a tiny, well, incident, between neighbors and turns it into a dangerous situation but also suddenly one which comments on gender politics. It keeps the tension going right alongside the laughs, which is hard to do. A great ten minute play that is a thriller one the outside, but has deeper implications underneath.
