A Question of Mercy

"There are many devastating ironies in Mr. Rabe's beautifully considered, piercingly clear-eyed work...Mr. Rabe renders this dark course of thwarted intentions with astonishing elegance, discipline and restraint...Mr. Rabe, in a play that re-establishes him as one of America's pre-eminent dramatists...has written an exquisitely controlled work about what will forever lie beyond human control" ~ NY Times

"With unsettling candor and disturbing insight, the play arouses pity and understanding of a troubling subject...Rabe's provocative tale is an affirmation of dignity that rings clear and true" ~ Variety

"Rarely has a playwright pared down a script with such a skilled hand. Like a surgeon with a scalpel, Rabe has pulled back the flesh to expose the heart of the matter" ~ BackStage
