REVIEW (Medium): The Bloody Utopia of JOHN DESERVES TO DIE at Fresh Ink Theatre
"Written by Rachel Greene, John Deserves to Die is both a reclamation of David Mamet’s famous(ly antifeminist) play Oleanna, and its own unique story about consent, power imbalances, rage, and reclamation. Greene’s subject matter and theming already do plenty to bite back against the play within the play, but she deserves just as much props for the way she weaponizes prose against her targets. John Deserves to Die is loud, rich, raw, and detailed in such a way that it becomes an act of defiance against Oleanna’s stiltedness, repetition, and multitude of ellipses."
REVIEW (The Sleepless Critic): Fresh Ink Theatre’s searing and contemplative ‘JOHN DESERVES TO DIE’
"Gripping from the start, the show is a searing, darkly humorous, and multilayer production delivered with haunting and progressive conviction. It does not just grab attention as the cast occasionally breaks the fourth wall, but it is a careful and thorough analysis of how lines can blur between right and wrong."
