“ A MODERN DAY MASTERPIECE! ”

“ Unforgiving...visceral and potent ”

Orange County Register

Following the murder of his only child, a man is forced to endure the attention that accompanies the release of the killer’s best-selling autobiography. How far will a father go to get even? And how does the woman who published the novel defend her actions? Timely and controversial, Talk About the Passion is an engaging drama that bravely confronts society’s morbid fascination with terrible crimes and our habit of forgiving the criminal and criminalizing the victim.

Audience Buzz

    1. One of the best plays I’ve ever seen. A top class production of a riveting masterpiece of drama. Farrow is a quite wonderful young playwright and you guys certainly gave his play a worthy production. All these years later this play has stayed with me. Is it worth a re run?

      — Brian Linden
    2. Man years after I saw this play at The Chance, it still sticks in my mind. I totally agree about it being a modern day masterpiece and should be show in every theater in the country. A gripping account of one man’s search for justice and redemption, it never lets up and the end will make you gasp out loud. Great play, great acting, great production.

      — Mike Smithard
    3. This play stands out for me even though I saw it ten years ago at The Chance. I agree with all the reviews; downright mesmerizing, visceral and unforgettable. We don’t see this type of play enough. Best new play I’ve seen in many a year.
