Some Like It Red presented by The Plagiarists at Berger Park Coach House

Chicago Reader - Not Recommended

"...That is, it should be a life-and-death farce, but director Jack Dugan Carpenter pushes his cast to such ham-handed, shtick-heavy extremes for nearly the entire first act that it all feels like a silly goof with little at stake for anyone. When things calm down in act two, the evening’s missed potential becomes manifest. Despite the title, the show bears no meaningful relation to Billy Wilder’s Some Like It Hot."

"...The script is a clever look back at the last gasps of Soviet-era "Peoples Republics" of Eastern Europe. Albeit chockful of corny, stock characters and a somewhat predictable plot, the play is sarcastic like a snarky high school student. It's a fun peek into a time tunnel with a mirror at the end of the passageway. And it's all packaged like a blaring boom box of '80's music."

NewCity Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...Playwright Gregory Peters, the company's artistic director, wields a light but sharp pen, hoisting the Albanian secret service officer who is the piece's Malvolio-like villain on his own pompously cruel petard. Peters reveals himself as a dramatist to watch, skillfully managing the politically and sexually tangled connections among the work's ten characters, while director Jack Dugan Carpenter consistently maintains a tone of arch, clowning artifice without overdoing the camp."
