"...Still, despite some dated references and creakiness, a heightened sense of reality evolves credibly within the frame of the real-time play, aided by Hellen Harwell's set - an intelligent fusion of austere dried-blood-red furniture and astute period features - all complemented by Matthew Richter's film noir-style lighting, Adam R. Macias's scary sound, and Paula Higgins' flapper-era costumes. Rope - filmed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1948 - remains an engrossing black comedy, highlighting the pitfalls of intellectual vanity and the dangers of the superman complex - quite perfect for our times."

"...Cohabitating young Londoners strangle a university classmate to death, hide the body in a living room trunk, then welcome the victim's father, his aunt, a pair of fellow students, and the teacher whose beliefs inspired their cold-blooded act for a dinner soiree in Patrick Hamilton's Rope, easily the darkest. deadliest, and most daring offering in Actors Co-op's 27-year history."

"...Unfortunately, this harbingering moment of campy thrills is one of only a couple of high points in a rather pedestrian evening. Though Grinstead invests his enormous reserves of energy and skill into this supercilious villain, and elsewhere there are able supporting performances, these efforts aren't enough to compensate for Hamilton's cliched, outdated dialogue and wooden characters."
