REVIEWS

  • KDHX:  Jason Cannon’s character, Robert, is the more worldly of the two outsiders. Robert is the eternal grad student, and Cannon portrays the certainty and selfishness one finds in people who only theorize but never implement with scene stealing confidence.    
  • Ladue News:  Jason Cannon convincingly shows us both Robert’s loutish, and even starkly cruel, approach to nature, as well as his mystical attraction to the island’s desolation and beauty… This production is marked by… splendid performances.    
  • St. Louis Post-Dispatch:  The actors do good work… [Cannon] plunges in with abandon.
