Review of The Death of Dick Long (2019) by Richard Whittaker for Austin Chronicle — 25 Sep 2019
Yet it's really as a director of actors that he's a revelation. Abbott never lets the audience walk away because they have already spent so much time – if not liking him, at least understanding him. We're right there with his wife, Lydia (Newcomb, extraordinary in what could have been a cipher of a role), when her world starts to fall apart.
Dumb and evil may be different, Dick Long says, but it doesn't make the damage hurt any less.
