Customer Reviews

Amazing, amazing, amazing!!

If you're at all interested in theater (or human nature) Stephen's words, verbal paintings, are for you. Theater at it's very best. Mind blowing and jaw dropping. Makes the rest of us jealous - "why can't I do that?". Keep your eye on him, fly to New York to check out his work (and that of the theater company he has been a long time member of - LAByrinth) if you can (or even if you can't). In a world where not much new is coming out, he shines a light of hope. Follow him there - he's is a worthy guide that can be trusted to the ends of the earth (or even to Purgatory - please check out, his most recent, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot - you won't regret it).
