Review:
The Trigger is a knockout intelligent, powerful, funny, horrific, theatrically stunning, and utterly free of victimology.”
Jerry Wasserman
The writing is at its most revealing when Aguirre shows us how the young Carmen’s mind struggles to process adult-scale horror Going into an evening like this, you might expect sentimentalization of pain or oversimplification of politics what The Trigger offers is so strange that it has the ring of truth, and it is never simplistic. Often, though, it is beautiful.”
