“Tammy Ryan should have called her new play `The Dark Part of the Marriage’ instead of the DARK PART OF THE FOREST…in the play’s potent debut…Joan and Bill’s faltering marriage is the main event. What’s also intriguing about DARK PART OF THE FOREST is the abundance of fairy tale imagery…. Ryan has written no fairy tale, though.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Christopher Rawson,
“There are few contemporary plays….that leave audiences frozen in their seats…the writing is eerily real…”
