...play communicates through theater's most expressive medium, poetry. Under the able direction of Oz Scott, every member of the talented cast delivers Ntozake Shange's rich verse with expert precision, rendering intricate rhythmic shifts with mellifluous ease. All seven actresses perform exquisitely, but one deserves specific attention. Trazana Beverley, who plays the Lady in Red (all characters are identified simply by the color of their dress), steals the show with her earthy humor and lusty sensuality.

The three formed a special review committee and produced a 298-page report. Slowly, cogently, McCloy reviewed the evidence for the directors...
...legions of priests chanting liturgies, for instance, and distraught gentlewomen who specialize in vanishing into walls. Yet there is enough sheer horror to send chills through the stoutest cynic. One example is a thoroughly detailed struggle with a "malevolent thing"-endured in the early '20s by Author Beverley Nichols and his friend Lord St. Audries in a dilapidated house in Torquay, Devon. Underwood also deals at length with the carefully analyzed spookery at Borley Rectory, Essex. Before the house was destroyed in an appropriately mysterious 1939 fire, several researchers who spent many days and nights investigating the strange goings...
