"...Written and directed by Charles Mount, THE LEATHER APRON CLUB is a political thriller that will send chills up your spine. Lines like "We expect our leaders to be idiots"� and "Speak softly, but carry a .45" flourish in this tale - all the more frightening because it makes you wonder if this could be true. On top of that, the play is especially relevant in this, a national election year. It's the perfect time for this world premiere to make an appearance."

"...James retains his skepticism, up to a point, while the others argue, banter, and attempt to persuade him to join their Club. It is a heady, intellectual evening, for James as well as the audience, and one that may provoke a plethora of questions, thoughtful introspection, and a renewed consideration of the ways of the world from all who witness this haunting theatrical event."

"...His excellent cast reveals the nuances, shifting loyalties and each facet of the debate with complex performances. The contemporary, cultural references are timeless."
