"This is a stunningly gripping production: beautifully written by Angela Betzien, directed with great care and skill by Leticia Caceres and performed by a wonderful cast. It is a terrific thriller. It is a passionate plea for understanding of those damaged people who behave very badly because they desperately need tenderness in their lives. It has lessons for us all, including politicians and policymakers: we need to support people well before things come to a crisis."
"If, like me, you take a pathetic delight in checking in to anonymous, out-of-the-way motels and savouring the delights of clean sheets, a telly, a neat little bathroom and then ticking the boxes on the breakfast menu, playwright Angela Betzien and her collaborator/director Leticia Cáceres will have ruined that childlike pleasure forever with The Dark Room.
Not that I hold this against them..."
"Some psychological thrillers are happy to creep you out and let you go. By contrast, Betzien's microcosmic short play - just 90 minutes long - haunts you afterwards because it looks beyond itself and out to injustices that must be acknowledged even if they can't be rectified."
