Positively pulsing with the breath of youth in its dialogue, conflicts, and philosophies, Scott Cantrell's 'Devil's Triangle' feels like it was written by its own characters, providing an admirable sense of authenticity. The character of Bill is an exceptionally drawn sample of deeply insecure, toxic masculinity. There is a tension over Jake's coming out, whether it be done on his own or with sponsoring, and the killing of a balance being achieved is shocking and devastating. An extreme tragedy.

Flirty. Funny. Wry. I enjoyed Jake's one-liners. The love between Jake and Greg is clear. Greg's comment about actors' one job is perfect. The theatrical metaphors continue and encapsulate the struggle with being closeted with those who should be closest to us. Then the mood changes. Bill is the perfect foil for Jake's torment. His role, like the others, would be a challenge for an actor to grapple. The stakes keep getting raised in Cantrell's piece. The final scene reads like music, and it would be fascinating to see this produced.
