Published Reviews

"Originality -- it's rare but you can experience the pleasurable sharp intake of breath it brings by seeing Rinne Groff's Inky...a neat little noir comedy full of deft twists, acerbic quips, and a lunge at your guts."

Francine Russo, The Village Voice

"Striking...Inky packs a punch."

Gordon Cox, Newsday

"Cheeky appeal...a revenge fantasy in which the humble prevail."

The New Yorker
