A radio talk-show host is menaced by a threatening caller in this psychological thriller. "VOICES IN THE DARK reminds us just how fun and entertaining a good thriller can be. So what if you have a few nightmares, jump every time the phone rings for the next couple of weeks, and are never able to look a hot tub in the face again? It's worth it."Fergus McGillicuddy, talkinbroadway.com "It may take a psychologist to tell us why we enjoy being frightened, why we yearn to enter the most sinister crevices of our mind. Although the slice and dice thriller is more popular on film than on stage, playwright John Pielmeier hopes to change that with his fun-filled, fatuously lurid new thriller, VOICES IN THE DARK."Simon Saltzman, U S 1 "A psychological thriller, this new play by John Pielmeier keeps theatergoers on the edge of their seats throughout … Pielmeier, who also penned AGNES OF GOD, has written a wonderful thriller with many unpredictable twists and turns."Debbie Mura, The Courier-News
