Review: SLAVE PLAY at Short North Stage

What did our critic think of SLAVE PLAY at Short North Stage? People always ask critics two questions: “did you like it?” and “is it worth seeing?” When it comes time to discuss SLAVE PLAY, these two questions are going to be tough to answer. Did I like it?

At times yes … and sometimes it felt like a punch to the stomach.
