Reviews & praise for...

“...[Ben Wilson’s] script and this cast are frequently so good. Wilson’s writing can be funny, spiky and downright moving, flipping switches even faster than the actors trade places under director Lillian Tillson’s crisp and creative blocking.”
 Mike Fischer, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

“In its best moments, Drive Me to Arson is a funhouse prism - a dramatic thematic apperception test.”
Russ Bickerstaff, Shepherd Express

“Low-key and entertaining, Drive Me to Arson is like an episode of the old Twilight Zone as penned by David Foster Wallace...With crisp, effective light and sound design, Drive Me to Arson is a trim, tight vehicle, streamlined for travel to the great northern theater Valhalla of Minneapolis. Let’s hope, for our sakes, we can keep Youngblood here.”
Jeff Grygny, MIlwaukee Theatre Examiner

“...really loved it.”
Julie Swenson, producing director of Renaissance Theaterworks
