The Confession at City Lit Theater

Windy City Times - Recommended

"...don't be lulled by the leisurely pace of the first scenes. However gradually the narrative might unfold ( while still finishing in a tidy two hours, including intermission ) , the unfaltering conviction exhibited in the performances of Mary Poole, Kay Schmitt and the aforementioned Feagin, playing the intrepid women determined to forge ahead in their queries ( assisted by Thad Anzur and Mike Postilion as assorted baffled males ) will soon have you waiting breathlessly for the final revelation that will explain all."

"...Despite the best efforts of Poole’s solid, sensible Agnes, narrative and scenic passages are primarily distinguished by the movement of curtains, resulting, by Act II, in a lot of words and fabric moving. A good mystery is more journey than destination, and the very juicy one within The Confession regrettably is often hobbled by the telling of it."

"...City Lit’s production is a workable mystery that could use a quicker pace to heighten the suspense but it still delivers Rinehart’s psychological thriller aptly. Mary Poole and Cameron Feagin fine work anchors the show. Rinehart’s mystery will leave you satisfied."

Chicago Stage and Screen - Somewhat Recommended

"...The characters in "The Confession" are not wimps. These girls are tough and realistic. Agnes is not afraid to live alone. She doesn’t fear intruders. She’s highly cerebral and drives herself crazy trying to figure out what is really going on as opposed to what she is expected to accept. Mary Poole is captivating as a woman with unbelievable stores of strength who gets to the bottom of a bad situation, no matter how low she has to go to find it."
