“As the “victim” Devon, Barry Sheppard gave an intricately multi-layered performance. While it may have been easy to go big, Sheppard played it cool. Sheppard brought fear and terror while still maintaining composure. It was raw, gaining incredible sympathy. Sheppard left it all on the stage, which was truly remarkable.” -Michael Block, Theatre in the Now
