"AS ETERNALLY COOL AS IT IS, FILM NOIR, WITH ITS SUPERCHARGED STYLE AND GENERAL SERIOUSNESS ALMOST BEGS TO BE DEFLATED -- AND PLAYWRIGHT BILL ROBENS ANSWERS THE CALL. IN A VOICE REDOLENT OF CIGARETTE SMOKE AND WAILING SAXOPHONE, "KILL ME, DEADLY," HAS GREAT FUN WITH THE GENRE STEREOTYPES, INCLUDING A TOUGH GUMSHOE WHOSE SECRETARY IS A MUCH BETTER DETECTIVE THAN HE IS. THE WORLD PREMIERE PRODUCTION AT THEATER OF NOTE SUCCEEDS

ON ALL LEVELS."
