Review: Durham County

May 4, 2007 Diane Wild

From Denis McGrath at Dead Things on Sticks:

Why Durham County rocks
“Durham County serves us up a hero, and then muddies the waters right away. As those waters grow murkier, the choices you’re forced to make as an audience, the value judgements you’re forced to generate — are never pre-digested and easy. This is a show that keeps you involved by continually forcing you to evaluate how you feel about what you’re seeing.”
