REVIEWS
“Raasdal-Munro’s play also feels like it shares DNA with the 1990s “in-yer-face” school of British theater, represented by plays like Mark Ravenhill’s 1996 drama Shopping and Fucking and the work of the late Sarah Kane.” - RECOMMENDED
“Raasdal-Munro also creates with a true-to-life intimacy. His knowledge of society’s underbelly rings forth here with compassion and understanding.” - RECOMMENDED
“Raasdal-Munro is a passionate artist who performs like a steam engine at full flame. The dialectics on political and social concerns are cogent and thought-provoking.”
“Allusions to Marlowe and Shakespeare pepper the script in some of the play’s best moments of dialogue. “Gangsta Baby” is a brave, explosive work that embodies the pain and frustration of the contemporary zeitgeist and is a surefire delight for thrill-seeking audiences.” - RECOMMENDED
“GANSTA BABY is a real surprise. It’s potent and powerful, a violent and almost barbaric story about sex, identity and daddy issues. It features excellent performances by four brilliant actors that are layered, honest and filled with fire and passion. This new British play will no doubt introduce Chicago audiences to a world they’ve never known. But Open Space Arts’ production of Cameron Raasdal-Munro’s American premiere is a theatrical experience they won’t soon forget. ” - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
“Cameron Raasdal-Munro is a sensation as he portrays the intricacies of the damaged Junior’s character. He instantly engages the audience and you utterly believe every word he says. He has a unique way of drawing the audience in from the very beginning and it’s almost as if you experience shared emotions with him throughout which is incredibly powerful. ”
“Raasdal-Munro also wrote the play and it is evident just how much he understands the nuances of Junior. He is an unbelievable creative who is sure to have an incredible career in the industry. I’m already excited to see future works from him. ”
“It felt like an utter privilege to be a witness to this phenomenal craftsmanship which is a complete masterclass on how to deliver a story.” - 5 STARS
