"...Brian Barney plays the Interrogator, a brat who we know under other names from his horns and his top-dog position in Hell's Oval Office. Barney works to sustain an irritated, overworked Satan-figure who is deeply flawed and needs as much emotional support as any mortal. He hits a screeching high note several times, conjuring a campy, my-manhood-is-threatened urgency and an irritated, dripping-dry sarcasm." - Kris Vagner, RENO NEWS AND REVIEW more>>

"...the mix that provides the best energy and timing is when the characters of Sidney Bruhl and Clifford Anderson take the stage... Brian Barney’s Clifford has ambition and amenable ruthlessness. His youth and so-what attitude are in direct contrast to Bruhl’s world-weary cynicism. The chemistry between the two performers provides a series of emotional exchanges and sharp timing." - Marla Carr, RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL more>>
"Barney's characterization of Cliff is reminiscent of Christopher Reeve's version of 20 years ago." - Jessica Groach, RENO NEWS AND REVIEW more>>
