For The Know Theatre of Cincinnati – 10/2018
“Russell uses the claustrophobic cubby-hole like a pressure cooker, forcing Jean and Virginie to collide and combust.” – CityBeat
Watching Joplin and Hopkins mix it up is every bit as enthralling as the tale they are wrapped up in. It’s like watching a pair of top-ranked tennis players. Or master debaters. You know this match must finish. And you know there can only be one winner. But the duel itself is so mesmerizing, you never want it to end. – The Cincinnati Enquirer

Every moment, from the very first to the visceral climax, fits neatly into the elevation, giving you a feeling like you’re climbing the first hill of a roller coaster, then suspending you for the barest instant at the pinnacle of the hill before dropping you completely into the action. – ArtsWave

The Know has a reputation for exciting, inventive theater precisely because of shows like “The Man-Beast.” They’ve taken an excellent, challenging script and worked their magic on it to build something truly special. As unnerving as it gets, the ending — which I won’t give away — was one of the most satisfying I’ve seen in recent memory. – ArsWave
