A marvelous discovery of love and the meaning of it all that truly sings from the vineyard! Well done!

Just saw the world premiere of this fun play at Oregon Contemporary Theatre. Stolowitz builds comic momentum from the get-go, with delightful, engaging characters stuck in a tasting room of a vineyard in Oregon's Willamette Valley. There are plenty of laughs, but the writer doesn't shy away from the 'what does it all mean' stuff, too. I like her sense of place, the development of her female characters and the way she brings in the unexpected. Brava!

Andrea manages to update the farce into a wonderfully contemporary modern setting. She manages to capture the spirit of Marivaux's work with classical elements dusted off and reimagined in a lively world. Her characters are utterly endearing. This is one I look forward to seeing fully produced.
