"The finely performed play currently playing — T. Adamson’s The Straights — has only tossed around a bit of tumbleweed set dressing and hung a single screen. But the space makes it look rich: Set off to its perfect advantage, The Straights glows like a ring in a velvet box."
"The director Will Detlefsen does strong work with his cast, which has several stand-outs. Paredes is the perfect center for this often wandering shaggy-dog story, unaffected and magnetic. And Fredrick, in the showier role, is a syringe of adrenaline. The play has many themes, but this is its dramaturgical question. If this is what anger sounds like now, what language do we reserve for love?"
