'Exit Strategy' at the Phila. Theatre Co.: Fierce, funny, outraging
It's a rare play that can entertain you and outrage you simultaneously, but that's just what Exit Strategy does. Philadelphia Theatre Company's fierce and funny East Coast premiere of Ike Holter's terrific play, an indictment of the collapse of the Chicago school system, is as relevant here as it is there: urban children - and their teachers - have been betrayed.
