The lead actor Barry McEvoy was fantastic. He was so intense at times I was almost afraid to be in the audience. The police officer character was also excellent. The only downside was that the Irish accents sometimes made it difficult to actually hear the lines.Written on Apr 26 2010

Good, not outstanding. Went on Friday night and was surprised by the small audience. Nice little theater. I hope it thrives. Well acted - particularly the lead.Written on Apr 26 2010

I'm constantly amazed at the calibre of theatre available in the D.C. area. The performance of Public Enemy at the H Street Playhouse is an example of Washington theatre at its best - thought-provoking play and excellent acting in an intimate setting. It was an enjoyable and entertaining performance, and I recommend it highly.Written on May 11 2010
