"David Grieg's updated version of August Strindberg's play upholds the agitated passions and turmoil of the original, but for subtle changes to the expanse of text…Under Kevin Confoy's precise, tense direction, actors Craig Smith and Elise Stone portray neurosis with an undertaking that is both intellectually and viscerally effective…The three leads get the better of their audience with the persuasive delivery of credible notions and formidable grudges."

"Kevin Confoy took complete advantage of the brisk dialogue with his direction by giving the actors the space to move about and the motivation behind the written words…Although not an endearing play, 'Creditors' is captivating and full of well-crafted characters. Stone brings the middle-aged woman not wanting to be considered old, and longing to be desired, to full breadth. The young, tortured artist and husband, who really does love his wife, is fully present in Tyson."
