Free Outgoing Reviews
Broadway World- Recommended
"...East West Players' new Artistic Director Snehal Desai ambitiously tackles the US premiere of playwright Anupama Chandrasekhar's FREE OUTGOING as his directorial debut. FREE OUTGOING centers on a single mother and her two teenagers living in a very conservative Chennai, India. Strong performances from the talented cast of five vividly illustrate the consequences of a video of the 15-year-old daughter engaged in a sex act going viral."
Edge- Highly Recommended
"...Scarily and positively directed by East-West Players' artistic director, Snehal Desai, this play is well-mounted, with an exemplary cast, scenic design and lighting. Mob hysteria is not unknown in our country, the gods know, but in third-world countries, the high numbers of undereducated or uneducated can and do react with fear and rage against sexually-aware teens of either gender, but most specifically against women."
Stage Scene LA- Somewhat Recommended
"...Powerful performances highlighted by Anna Khaja's riveting star turn command attention in the Los Angeles Premiere of Anupama Chandrasekhar's Free Outgoing. Still, the unremitting bleakness of its shocking-but-true story of conservative Indian values in today's anything-goes Internet age could make it a hard sell for East West Players."
