after all the terrible things I do

Milwaukee Repertory Theatre’s 14/15 Stiemke Season

“A. Rey Pamatmat’s smart, sensitive, and well-acted after all the terrible things I do… is at its best in chronicling the consequent psychic cost — for Daniel and all those around him — of a world where being gay invites bullying and abuse, some of it recounted here in harrowing flashbacks that will disturb anyone who has witnessed, participated in or been victimized by bullying, which means pretty much all of us.”

“[after all the terrible things I do] whisks by so quickly it almost catches you off guard. It’s that riveting… There are enough unexpected plot twists to earn the play a place in the ‘thriller’ section of Linda’s bookstore.”

“…masterfully realistic and surprising plotting and dialogue… after all the terrible things I do is not an abstract exploration of other people’s problems, but rather an exhortation to change our society by realizing the truth that that which is different is equally valid and worthy of respect.”
