“Hell Dialogues”
By David Walters
"The play is built on a foundation of improv and movement, a technique that director Masha Kotlova is exploring in her work, so no two performances will be alike.
Hell Dialogues is a play full of a lot of ideas blended together in a pot, vigorously stirred, carefully watched, and left to slightly ferment.
Anyone who has a keen interest in self-reflection can gather at The Sheen Center to taste the collective brew"
