War Room, the new play by Darryl Schneider at Road Less Traveled Theatre, is an engaging and thought-provoking piece of theater, well acted with fully dimensioned characters. Developed in the Road Less Traveled new play workshop, War Room has distinct echoes of Arthur Miller. Personal values collide with human needs in this story of a husband/father who becomes estranged from his family at a time of crisis. The plot and its execution are reminiscent of All My Sons or Death of a Salesman.

Before her Broadway appearance in Shadowlands, actress Jane Alexander told me that she requires six weeks of performances to ease into a role.
