Is This a Room is theater of a sort most people, including me, have never seen. It’s a one-act verbatim play drawn entirely (word-for-word, pause-for-pause, cough-for-cough) from the actual FBI transcript of the 2017 interrogation of Reality Winner, a former Air Force linguist accused of leaking intelligence.

What did our critic think of DIAL M FOR MURDER at MILWAUKEE REPERTORY THEATER? Seat-gripping and immensely satisfying -- that’s Dial M for Murder, a new adaptation by playwright Jeffrey Hatcher, now on stage at the Milwaukee Rep. Under the direction of Laura Braza, this updated take on Frederick Knott’s 1952 original and Hitchcock’s 1954 film stays true to the source with some refreshing updates. But blackmail and revenge, passion and plot twists all remain in this thrilling piece of theater.
