"Tower ... a powder keg of suspense ... a multi-layered and
intensely realized play. Griffith ... creates an extraordinarily
authentic world peopled by eccentrics living on the edge ... the
dialect and natural speech rhythms sound as real as though he
had hidden a mike in someone's home. The show benefits from
masterful performances. McConnell shapes a powder keg of a
production in which the characters' emotions are only a matchstrike
away from conflagration. Tower is powerful ... "
-The Palm Beach Daily News
"Tower is a slow-burning fuse of a play. It has an explosive
pay-off ... A writer of considerable skill ... Griffith captures
the elliptical patterns , colorful expressions and vivid
talking jags of these characters."
-The Palm Beach Post
