What the critics are saying about Love Peace & Robbery....
|
"
Crafted devotedly in truth and detail,
Love, Peace and Robbery is theater stripped to its essence:
fine actors showing the
heartbreaking consequentiality of everyday acts ... every characterization Rauscher does is marked by
authenticity ... you will not appreciate the magnitude of his accomplishment until afterward, on the way home. ... Keenan and Lucas are similarly authentic, and their characters are
layered and persuasive ..
all hail Rauscher, Keenan, Lucas, Director Kerry Waters Lucas, who found the play’s true heart."

God bless us, every one! ... Rauscher should have no trouble garnering attention for the excellent work he does here ... Keenan and Lucas supply the play with its rueful, clear-eyed quality. Director Kerry Waters Lucas sets a gentle tone that gives us permission to laugh at the two as their schemes proceed to implode. ... it’s got heart, a strong cast, and finds room for enough police procedure (helped along by Michael Innocenti’s dextrous lighting) to scratch your Law and Order itch..."
-Washington City Paper
"Potomac Stages Pick for three strong performances in an intriguing, intimate piece ... Lucas and Keenan create distinctive characters out of the perceptive dialogue Heylin provides ... Rauscher manages a range of traits and characteristics that bring each character into focus rapidly ... All three performances are carefully crafted..."
