s This A Room still has a movingly human presence at its core. Davis gives a performance of heart-wrenching rawness and lucidity; as you watch her dissolve from the inside, what emerges with force is a sympathetic and specific portrait of a young woman trying to do the right thing in a very wrong time. This is a spare show, but Satter doesn't have to add much to the text to keep us fastened in. Reality is interesting enough.
8 / 10
Satter's staging ratchets up the tension slowly, subtly. Note how Garrick creeps behind Reality's shoulder, then inches closer and closer to her face. He throws around the word 'voluntary,' but could Reality simply have left? Everything about the situation-including the redactions in the transcript, which are punctuated by blistering sounds and stark lighting shifts-screams pressure; it's no wonder she eventually comes clean. (Side note: This is an argument for the lawyers, which she did not have. But the fact that her confession, which came before she was read her rights, was admissible is mind-boggling. If Briscoe and Logan had pulled this stunt with a perp on Law & Order, McCoy wouldn't have gotten the confession past any judge in New York.)
