Reviews:
"The luminous Ms. King delivers a captivating and commanding performance during this full-length theatrical presentation. With her expressive voice and alluring stage presence, Ms. King is towering. Director Rick Hamilton’s picturesque and dynamic staging has King alternatively in motion and still for optimum dramatic effect. Mr. Hamilton also harnesses the show’s high caliber elements of stagecraft for a compelling production."

"Director Rick Hamilton brings the play to vibrant life. Orchestration of visual and audible aspects is exceptional. His actress’s timing is impeccable. There isn’t a gesture or move that doesn’t seem organic."

"Under Rick Hamilton’s direction, Masha King gives an excruciatingly poignant performance as Weinrauch, painstakingly documenting her experience of Nazi atrocities. Director Hamilton brilliantly employs multimedia—projections, sounds, and lighting—to amplify the impact of this treatment on Weinrauch’s body and psyche."
