Ben Butler at Undercroft Theatre

Washington Post - Highly Recommended

"...Martin displays terrific comic timing as Butler, deftly channeling the general’s narcissism and exasperation, whether fussing with paperwork or pontificating over the sherry decanter. Scenic designer Megan Holden gives the character an atmospheric space to dominate, filled with 19th-century furniture and wooden crates."

BroadwayWorld - Highly Recommended

"...These are rich, complex figures brought to life on stage by Martin and Sapp. It's a delight to watch these two actors work together in this quick, dramatic, and funny show about what it takes to change another's mind, fight for freedom, and institute true justice."

DC Theater Arts - Highly Recommended

"...It’s hard to imagine a comedy that takes place during the Civil War, but that’s exactly what Richard Strand’s Ben Butler is. Director Kasi Campbell (The Dazzle, Rep Stage), a Helen Hayes Award winner, has brought a woman’s perspective to this all-male play. She evokes marvelous performances from her cast, whose charms and foibles are apparent from the start."
