←Recommendations of Kubrickian

I saw a portion of this play in Bramble Theatre's Festival of Unfinished Work, and I had to come to NPX to see how it ended. This play is so many things: dystopian, hilarious, tragic, passionate - Chris is so passionate about Stanley Kubrick that he almost Tom Sawyer'd me into watching a Kubrick film. There is so much for actors to mine in this. In a dialogue-driven medium, the long stretch without any speaking in this play is impressive - and somehow remains engaging. A great play.

Scary, moving, and devastatingly hilarious, KUBRICKIAN is an actor's dream to work on. I will be honest that I don't personally care that much for Stanley Kubrick's work, but this play made me reevaluate my stance on that - not an easy feat in of itself. The play will take you to dark places that are uncomfortable, but leave you wanting more.

A strange, compelling odyssey (see what I did there?) that makes rich theatrical use of both verbal and physical communication, whose allegorical implications I'm still teasing out. Much like the titular director's work, this one defies easy answers but is all the more interesting for it!

A fascinating read, incredibly visual despite the sparse set, and a wonderful, challenging set of roles for actors to dive into. Kubrick fans especially, take note!

Kubrickian's wholly unique premise allows a playfully dark meditation on the ways pop culture simultaneously unites and divides us. I am still grappling with questions about the limits of human communication days after finishing the play. Even if you have never seen a film by Stanley Kubrick, this play reveals how deeply art shapes the way we see ourselves, our families, and the World. I highly recommend Kubrickian!

This simultaneously sparse and claustrophobic piece deftly explores the power of obsession and memory, as well as the failures of masculinity and communication. Plus: Stanley Kubrick!
