Second Skin Reviews
Chicago Reader- Highly Recommended
"...As tight as the writing is, it's the director, Jess Hutchinson, and her three-person cast who make the show. Each actor knows how to turn the screw a little tighter, and a little tighter still, until by the end we hang on the last storyteller's every word. Long after this ghost story was finished, I was haunted by it."
Chicago On Stage- Highly Recommended
"...There are some times when the script of a play is just so darned good that you don't want to say much about it; you just want people to go and experience it. Such a case is the hauntingly beautiful Second Skin, now playing at the Den Theatre in a Wildclaw Theatre production. Kristin Idaszak's moody and poignant portrait of three women in the same family and a darkness that they share captures you from its first magnetic moments and just won't let you go."
Picture This Post- Recommended
"...Those looking for blood and gore, flesh-eating zombies and more testosterone-soaked horror may be let down. This production is proudly presented as all-women all the way—playwright, cast, production team, all. While this reviewer can’t quite connect with claims that this is a unique femme powered story and production--- because mom-daughter tensions are ubiquitous plot lines, even in the lightest musical fare, for example—it doesn’t diminish that this is a recommended play, and especially for those who love myths and storytelling and standout performances by highly talented actors."
