    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.
