WINTER 2002

Directed by Sean Graney

§  "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED" - The Reader

§  "Not surprising that...The Hypocrites would stage a loud, energetic, kick-ass version of the play...", "Director Sean Graney and his cast of Chicago fringe stalwarts - among them Rich Cotovsky, Mechelle Moe, and Nick Digilio - play Shepard to the hilt..." - Jack Helbig, The Reader

§   "Director Sean Graney, known to cut to the quick of moral decrepitude, assembles some of the city's edgiest actors..." - Lucia Mauro, Chicago Sun-Times

§  "The Hypocrites' trademark is splashy visuals and environmental concepts unfettered by the usual demands of realism.", "...because Graney was dealing with a play now approaching self-parody, his production provides a very fresh and funny spin." - Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
