Star Tribune - Highly Recommended

"...Joel Sass's staging of "Detroit" at the Jungle Theater pushes D'Amour's script to the frayed edges of mythology. His production team has created a fearless and swirling incantation that does what great theater should do: grab you, scare you, haunt you and demand that you pay attention."

Twin Cities Daily Planet - Recommended

"...Is this play a drama? A comedy? A snapshot of one messed-up piece of real life? It's all of these things, unfolding in a generic but run-down piece of suburbia that could just as easily be on the outskirts of Motor City as it could be in the heart of Camden – places that have seen better times. Long-time residents Ben (John Middleton) and Mary (Angela Timberman) seem to have things mostly together, in a fairly dull but stereotypically WASP fashion – but the more they get to know their new neighbors, the more the audience learns that plenty of problems lie beneath the surface. The progressive reveals make the characters more compelling and interesting as the play advances."

How Was The Show - Recommended

"...This is a play that makes its most profound observations without saying them at all. In fact, my companion at Saturday’s performance came to a conclusion radically different than my own, and even more disturbing. It’s that kind of play, much like a group of people hearing different messages from the same conversation; each audience member gets to own their own piece of it, in a way. It’s what gives this play its complexity—and power, too."

Aisle Say Twin Cities - Somewhat Recommended

"...If you want an entertaining play with undercurrents of darker, more serious fodder for thought, this is good. If you’re inclined to focus on the big questions in the plot, you might find all the laughter confusing and distracting."
