DARK DEBTS

Veteran TV writer Hall has crafted a powerful tale of characters beset by a demonic curse that has driven generations of family members to murder and mayhem. Engrossing and terrifying, the story suffers from only one notable abridgment problem: a prologue that seems unrelated until much later in the story. Anthony Heald conveys the extreme emotions of the story without succumbing to overstatement. Using intonation, accent and emphasis, he clearly and insightfully portrays different personalities (including Jesus and the devil). This production is hard to turn off before the end.
