Backstage West
- LA Weekly, May 3-May 9, 1996 --"Director
Daniel Henning obtains some comically grand supporting performances from
his ensemble [at the Blank Theatre Company],
notably...Brian Carpenter in a brief turn as an oily bureaucrat charged with overseeing
Turing's postwar behavior."
- Back Stage West, May 1996 --"The
men in Turing's life, both the lovers and the prosecutors, get proficient
and highly individual portrayals from actors Brian Carpenter, John Ronald Dennis...and
Lenny Wolpe."
- Los Angeles Reader, May 3, 1996 --"In every aspect the cast performs sublimely in this L.A.
premiere, sensitively directed by Daniel Henning. Neither Henning nor the
actors miss a beat of logic or emotion."
- Los Angeles Times, May 1996 - "A
multi-layered theatrical tour de force which challenges the mind and wrenches
the heart.
- Daily News, May 1996 - "An
emotionally searing production...it is one of the most accomplished shows
so far this year."
