Blood Knot
Reviews
“Jim DeVita’s movements as he plays Morris are very loose, soft, and passive as he takes care of the house. But when he puts on a suit to embody a white man, the change is night and day. When he shouts at Zacharia, an audible gasp comes from every audience member.”
“In a play that meanders slowly through the first act, Lawrence and DeVita find ways to imbue every interaction with meaning that surpasses words. Even their mundane conversations feel loaded, as power dynamics shift slightly and deeply held secrets are revealed bit by tiny bit. It’s a marathon for the two actors to constantly build toward the play’s primal, vicious, explosive final scenes— scenes that change everything and nothing for them. As painful as Blood Knot is to watch, the talent on display is equally astounding.”
