-Chris Jones

In New York:

NYTheatre.com "Gary Tiedemann delivers a terrific character study of a man who is in every way moral until faced with the secret. It's great to see his character disintegrate as he is faced with his dilemma." TimeOut NY: Fringe Festival review: Hearts Full of Blood FOUR STARS! "The play's snappy dialogue, shocking subject matter and remarkable leading performance give the Fringe a welcome infusion of quality.

The Huffington Post "My favorite play of the fest."

TheaterMania: 2010 FringeNYC Roundup "Hearts Full of Blood is presented by Chicago’s New Colony theater company, whose mission statement is to use the experiences and strengths of their company members in creating the work from ‘a short story with rough character sketches.’ It’s a creative idea that has produced incredible results in what is surely one of the best plays of this year’s Fringe.”

Theater Is Easy: Hearts Full of Blood "One of the best plays that I have seen at this Fringe Festival or any other festival in recent memory...gritty, heartfelt, intelligent and fearless."
