"...Forum Theatre, the youngish troupe now in residence at the Round House's auxiliary theater in Silver Spring, is once again proving to be a champion of the marathon. "Scorched," like Forum's admirable earlier productions of "Angels in America" and "The Last Days of Judas Iscariot," is a big, rambling play staged simply and acted with force."

Playwright Wajdi Mouawad so hammers his audience with detail after detail of the depredations of the Lebanese Civil War, followed by clumsily-delivered commentary, that not even the surefooted rendering given by the canny Forum cast can deliver us from the weight of this three-hour production.
