McLucas…did a careful study of how this production should flow, and his expert attention shows…Stones in His Pockets…is a must-see.

McLucas…did a careful study of how this production should flow, and his expert attention shows…Stones in His Pockets…is a must-see.

…a glorious piece of theatrical fuckery.

McLucas…does crank up his Jason…we see some actual acting.

McLucas navigated characters with internalized systemic sexism, racism, and homophobia with humanity...portraying [a] specific and heart wrenching character arc.
McLucas...communicate[s] the duality of [his] character with practiced ease.

McLucas as the best man is a study in laughable libidinous machismo.

The South Camden Theatre Company production proves that an ambitious company — and one in a unlikely location — can still inspire, lead us to question, remind us of our innate conflicts, and most of all, help us to remember that family, no matter how harmonious or conflicted, is a taproot for us all.
South Camden Theatre Company's stark production, directed in a straightforward fashion by Josh McLucas, tells the story in a quietly powerful fashion...it sparkles with life...

The five supporting actors...are thoroughly skilled in their facility with the Elizabethan language, and compelling in their understanding of the characters' emotions and motivations


McLucas gives a strong performance...[he] is clear and believable in the midst of the chaos.

You are advised, before the show takes off, to secure your seat belt. DO it.


McLucas stands out in a role premiered by British actor Ben Whishaw, displaying some of that now-famous actor's charm and depth.
