The Shape of The Bones Reviews

Chicago Tribune - Highly Recommended

"...But, just as importantly, this is also an extraordinarily well-acted production, very much in the classic, high-stakes Chicago tradition. Everyone here knew why we'd all shown up to the theater together: to interrogate truth and expose the phonies, to try and decide what must be protected and what must be protested."

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...Directed by Emily Blanquera, Huffman’s 90-minute one-act boasts a strong cast, including Rae Gray as Pastor Riga. Gray, who often seems to specialize in characters roiling with internal conflict and externalized anger (as in her terrific performance last spring in Northlight and Theater Wit’s coproduction of Prayer for the French Republic and as the barely-holding-it-together young wife, Yelena, in New Theatre’s Vanya), here plays a more sinister role."

NewCity Chicago - Somewhat Recommended

"...The story's bones-the basic elements of a powerful religious drama-are already present. But they'll remain dry bones until they're shaped into something clearer, more decisive and more complete."
