For a previous production

"Not mere entertainment, but a living, breathing manifestation of the underworld on Manhattan's West Side in the late '80s. Rarely have I seen audiences so invested...It really knows how to bring you into a story and make it personal...Writer and director D'Amore has brought this gritty city to life, digging deep to expose the injustices of an era that feels alien to residents of 2013 New York...This tale of murder and injustice from 1988 is deadly relevant, on top of being excellent theater."
