- THE GOOD SAMARITAN -

by Scott McDowell

Calling it "violent, serious, and on occasion downright depraved," the San Antonio Current printed a great review by Clint Hale about "The Good Samaritan," now playing at the Overtime Theater:

"Since opening its doors in 2006, the Overtime Theater has become synonymous with infusing the traditional themes of the theater world with offbeat twists and turns. And The Good Samaritan...is no exception to this trend. Branching out from the conventional 'eyes fixed stage front' mentality, and even traditional theater-in-the-round, The Good Samaritan -- a one-act crime noir set in 1951 San Francisco -- utilizes the entire room to make the audience feel like part of the show."

"The Good Samaritan" is written by Scott McDowell, author of "All Kinds of Hot" which played recently at the Overtime, and directed by Andy Thornton, one of San Antonio's finest directors and actors.
For a short preview glimpse of "The Good Samaritan," here's a video trailer on YouTube.
