HAMMOND'S PLAYS...

I've seldom encountered a show that flirts so brazenly with the dark, roiling parts of the human psyche.--Kyle Jarrow

Everyone looks the other way as long as they possibly can, but the play culminates, inescapably, at the moment when we know that every bit of romantic fantasy is about to be annihilated by the relentless force of truth. -- Travis Chamberlain

Immediately, Barbara Hammond's play establishes a modern context for the exploration of big, gripping, timeless issues-- ambition and longing, identity, aging, isolation and love.--Phoebe Lithgow
