This play is both funny and gripping, and I found myself quite moved at its conclusion. It has several juicy for roles for actors, including some great parts for young actors. I hope to see this produced soon--I'm dying to experience it with an audience!

Hallie P has done it again! A Fatal Place is a skillful, layered well-calibrated contemporary take on the Euripides source material. Character is central and drives both the comedy and the drama inherent in narrative. The play finds a way to be both surprising and familiar. Companies looking for fresh takes on classics take heed! A Fatal Place is exactly the kind of play I'd buy a ticket to see.

A smart and thrilling take on the classic Greek tragedy. The tone is perfectly calibrated to lean into both the fantasies of the epic myths and the disturbing realities of toxic males waging wars in which the women always lose, though the women here are never merely victims in this telling but are instead engaged in active resistance. The use of contemporary social media is a brilliant stroke that Palladino manages to deftly work into the antique setting. More myths redone like this, please!
