I've received many reviews of my work over the years, mostly favorable...but none so unanimously good as those for FREAKS which was gratifying. What sticks in my mind though is the moment in the play when Hans in his sickbed, as seen above in the show, lays back... and with Johnny Eck poised nearby, repeats Cleopatra's insult to them all very slowly, " Filthy...Slimey....FREAKS!". As the light dimmed on the scene there was a collective "Oooooooo" that rose up from the audience and I knew we had them in the palm of our hands. That is what I did theatre for. That is what it is all about.
