The critics are raving about “Escape from the Asylum!” May all playwrights receive the blessing of such an amazing cast, director, and production company. (photo of Chelsea Bearce and Danielle O’Hare by Robbie Sweeney)
“This comedic play charms with quirky characters, clever dialog, feminist issues, and a plot twist leading to a surprise ending. The four actors, three of whom appeared in similar roles in “VLDC,” are delightful.” ~ Victor Cordell, SFBATCC
“This reviewer thoroughly enjoyed once again dropping in at the Hunter Lodging House in 1895 London to watch with glee and admiration the ingenuity and courage of three women who ignore the biases of their world in order to outsmart the men around them as they fight for the rights and lives of women. Thanks to Patricia Milton and Central Works for bringing back to the stage Valeria, Loveday, and Katie; and as I said three years ago, I can’t wait to see you three again in the future.” ~ Eddie Reynolds, Theatre Eddys 5E’s, and a Best Bet
“The Victorian Ladies Detective Collective solves the mystery, but they also expose real crimes against all women, worldwide. ‘Escape from the Asylum’ raises our awareness about inequality that is still rampant, today. Milton keeps us guessing until the unexpected ending with the “Locked Door Mystery.” See if you can solve the mystery before they do!” ~ Pat Morin, Theatrius
“[Alan] Coyne is hilarious … as Dr. Florian Von Grabstetter, the psychiatrist who has invented a machine to diagnosis the “wandering uterus” … Coyne has a ball with this, and so do we.” ~ Charles Kruger, Theatrestorm
