"The Oil Thief [is] an eloquently written new play about the intimidating passage of time in both the earth's life and our own individual ones . . . All of the human drama is crystalline in The Oil Thief . . . Amy [is] a middle-aged hot-shot geologist superbly played by Melinda Lopez as a woman whose mining of an ancient elixir has made her acutely aware of both her guilt in its Third-World exploitive acquisition, and her mortality."
