We’re all on a quest to find our place in the world. For these disenfranchised gay youths their search has come up empty. Tormented because of their sexuality, they go to the only place where equality truly exists. “The Wretched Void” is a war cry to our society to accept and embrace, regardless of differences and prejudices.

Two different perspectives on “The Wretched Void” at Kings River Life’s Rogue Reviews. One by a 17 year old drama student, the other by a 38 year old theatrical director.

I disagree that this was ‘the one to see.’ The show is ambitious and can be heartbreaking, but the acting is only so-so.
I thnk this is a ‘tweener’ show – if you’re gay and have been through the experiences performed here, the show isn’t enough. If you’re straight and have NO clue, this will seem like a sledgehammer to the head, over and over.
There is triumph and humanity in the show, so if you are queer or questioning, this is a definite must-see for you. Otherwise, this can be a secondary show for you Rogue fans to see, after you’ve hit the truly ‘can’t miss’ shows of the Rogue.
Still, applause for the hard work and dedication put into the production by these locals.
This is the one to see. Great production–acting, script. Don’t miss it!
