Erryn Arkin radiates great energy in his multiple performances as an American, Irishman, Aussie and Kiwi, in this uniquely challenging one-man ‘dramedy’ titled THE TERROR. Directed by Jamie Laura, Arkin not only succeeds in delivering convincing accents and changing full costumes for each role in seconds, but stays strong enough to the end of this play to reveal the unexpected yet momentous finale. SCRIPT 4/5, ACTING 4.5/5, DIRECTING 4/5. -SR http://www.shortreviews.webs.com/

Arkin did an amazing job

Arkin did an amazing job changing 4 characters in under 10 minutes. No other actor on the night had any similar pressure and he made it look so easy!

I saw this short play and

I saw this short play and thought the acting was underpar, the accents were cringe worthy and the plot was very week. A friend or relative must have written this review.
