"...Shooting Gallery's fatal weapon is out in plain sight from the very start. Granted, its target is a mechanical bear in an arcade game, and Israel Horovitz' script specifies that the rifle be represented by a wooden cane while the actors voice the noise of gunfire. But one look at the obsessed shooter and his careworn consort tells us this is not going to be pretty. Michael McKay's fearless portrayal of a frustrated win-at-all-costs capitalist and Roxanne Fay's intense evocation of the victim who finally turns on her marital oppressor, her ursine protector, and anybody else who pisses her off, generate some chilling chemistry to offset the text's outdated gender dynamics. The finale to an evening's program running a bare two hours total, this selection is well worth the wait."
