A SNIP FROM STEVEN STANLEY'S STAGESCENE LA: (complete article - follow link below)
Director caryn desai took a bit of a chance on a pair of StageSceneLA Award-winning musical theater stars, but it is a risk that has paid off. The always fabulous Stevens, who won a Best Featured Actress Scenie for her scene-stealing roles in Divorce: The Musical, gives high-energy, high-maintenance Veronica a steely command and determination beneath a disintegrating guise of civility... (which) ought to open many legitimate acting doors in months to come. http://www.stagescenela.com/2012/02/god-of-carnage/
"The willowy Stevens reminds one of the young Katharine Hepburn – feisty while also sensitive, her voice often quivering with moral outrage. Though Veronica may appear the most tolerant, and most socially conscious, of the four – she could also be this quartet's most self-righteous, and most outrageously hypocritical, parent."
"The fine ensemble cast evenly balances the bickering ... carving highly individualized portraits through the way they undermine or reinforce various traits ... with Stevens' portrayal of the feisty yet sensitive Veronica."
"Stevens, who portrayed Veronica ... was, both as a character and actor, consistently outstanding. ... as the polite conversation falls apart... she also submits to the impulses of human nature and participates in the name-calling and petty retaliation, while insisting she is the only civilized person among primitive beings."
