Storm Still

While cleaning out their father's house, three estranged sisters perform a fast and loose reenactment of KING LEAR: part eulogy, part drinking game, part child's game of pretend.

    An imaginative re-telling of LEAR with a lot of heart. I thought the parallels between these sisters' lives and the classic play were clean and vibrant, especially those about memory loss, abuse, and death. As a lonely kid, whose first Shakespeare play was LEAR, I would have jumped to play this reoccurring game.

    A moving and powerful performance as these three sisters work through this story. Well done.

    So excited to be producing this at The VORTEX this fall. There wasn't a dry eye in the house or on the stage at our first public reading. This is a play about why we see tragedy, how watching and even playing out the worst parts of ourselves is the way we learn to let go of our guilt and recrimination and forgive.
