Erratica presented by The American Demigods at Second Stage Theatre

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...Dan Foss's staging for the American Demigods zips along, and Lisa Herceg conveys a nimble wit as Samantha. Apart from a striptease performed by Marlowe and a pair of go-go boys, though, the production never generates the heat it needs."

Chicago Theater Beat - Recommended

"...for such a smart comedy, the play wraps up a little formulaically, with a character leaping from behind an arras to resolve the final entanglement or Stafford showing sudden sexual interest in Hooper where there was none before. All that can be said is that Hardy’s shrewd dialogue and Foss’s clean-cut direction takes the audience through the journey with zippy alacrity. So, savor the juicy conspiratorial scene between Elspeth and Lisa. Enjoy Stafford’s alcoholic binge breakdown, when she declares, “Vodka’s like black—it goes with everything.” Appreciate the quieter moments when Marlowe tries to get through to her. Life isn’t pure poetry. And that’s a good thing."
