"[D]evastating...'Two Rooms'...has a terrifying familiarity."
""Two Rooms" relies on powerhouse performances to breathe life into his wordy ideas. Director Darren Evans gets strong performances from [Jason] Beals and [Kate] Donnelly..."
"Theatre on Fire has created a wonderfully fluid space in the intimate Charlestown Working Theater..."

"...unremittingly brilliant production...almost suffocatingly poigniant..."
"Slowly shuffling, blindfolded and shackled, Jason Beals is the soul of resignation, softly sifting over his unsendable letters. Michelle Dowd's frown speaks of her attempts to clamp down on both her resentment at contempt and lack of cooperation, and on her impulse toward sympathy. Craig Houk tries to understand, to see under the skin, and to demand help in reaching for resolution. He has anthracite eyes and a hungry face. And at the center, vibrantly silent, sits Kate Donnelly. Her slightest movement has meaning. When her attention snaps to someone it's like a crack of lightning, and an occasional sudden smile is dawn after storms."

"[H]arrowing...heartbreakingly personal... "
"Jason Beals and Kate Donnelly each give immensely touching performances as the young couple facing the unimaginable."
"Michelle Dowd humanizes the businesslike bureaucrat so well that we are sure she must feel some pain, deep down underneath the hollow platitudes. Craig Houk is utterly convincing as the journalist who gets his story but truly regrets the manipulation. Darren Evans directs with a sure hand and a deft awareness of the stakes, dramatically and historically—and he chooses exquisite music to set the ominous tone for the piece."
