“How to subtly swagger has to be seen in Dep Kirkland’s many-shaded performance as Jack.”
ACTOR
“Kirkland depicts a convincing steely determination that brooks no opposition in or out of the courtroom.
“Dep Kirkland is an effectively shifty producer only interested in his investment. ‘I only know what I read in the papers,’ he declares.”
“The actor’s presence is commanding… lean and trim, with piercing blue eyes, he looks like a Green Beret warrior.“

“A Potent Salvo in Détente Between the Sexes” | “In a harrowing scene that flawlessly builds accelerating dramatic tension, [Karen] goes from enticing tipsiness to panic, as she tries to stop her boss’ advances.”
WRITER
“Provides knotty questions to answer…. This play is very much about something. Kirkland has a knack for turning things topsy-turvy.”
“Whether or not this dance is similar to one in your own family, some aspect of it will resonate with you.”
“Kirkland aims, classically, at a portrait of a disintegrating family and a flawed individual who learns his lessons too late.”
