"Powerhouse" succeeds on so many levels. Just as you might think this won’t end up well for two people whose love for each other is being tested so vehemently, the tables are turned on the cold bureaucracy that would dare to tear them apart leaving them without careers and, most importantly, without each other. The solid writing, direction and performances make for a very satisfying night out at the theatre.
