“'INTACT', an extremely
well-rounded comedic dissertation… is one more reason to love playwright Erica Griffin. In
this piece she tackles religion, mental illness and cultic practice without
managing to offend either common sense or common decency. Her impressive talent
for delivering the unexpected is rare and well crafted.”
