REVIEW: Echo Theatre Company's Regional Premiere of THE SECRETARIES by the Five Lesbian Brothers
by Chris Gibson - Sep 29, 2009

The climax alone features a bevy of women in lingerie covered in blood; an image that evokes the exploitation era of the 1970's. To make it work it requires a very talented and brave cast, and a director who's not afraid to take a risk or two.
