BWW Reviews: THE PERVERT LAURA a Subversive Play from an Audacious Playwright
by David Fick - December 08, 2014
You have to hand it to Louis Viljoen. The man is an honest-to-god real-as-they-come playwright, and he explores something new in every play he writes. His latest piece, THE PERVERT LAURA, is a taut psychological drama about a woman whose past manifests itself her present, driving her to face some dark truths and make some difficult choices.
