The Whipping Man
Curious Theatre Company:
1/11-2/15
Friday evening this reviewer was regaled
with the most intense realism in memory at Curious Theatre’s powerful production of “The Whipping Man.”
Co-directors Kate Folkins and Chip Walton
elicited electrifying performances from their three-man cast.
When was the last time you teared up in the first couple minutes of a production? Sean
Scrutchins can teach your nerve endings to feel pain way beyond the footlights!

Please be aware that this production has
scenes involving excruciating pain, which are recommended to all lovers of
serious drama who are not faint of heart.
Sean Scrutchins is outstanding in the role
of Caleb, a wounded Confederate soldier returning home to two emancipated
slaves and the scorched ruins of his home.
Stepping in at the last minute the
always-excellent Cajardo Lindsey turns in a high caliber portrayal of Simon.

Laurence Curry gives us a dynamic performance
in the role of John.
Exquisitely delivered sound and lighting designs
and a magnificent set add to the evening’s enjoyment.
The “special effects” created by Todd Debreceni enhance
the realistic impact.
