What an emotionally arresting play. THE RESURRECTIONIST's strength is in its simplicity; rather than bogging us down in a convoluted plot to keep track of, Stevens focuses the action on his characters and their relationships. Relatively spare language and the occasional surreal moment bolster the unique tone of this piece, which is somehow morbid and warm all at once. A beautiful story exploring queer love in an ambiguous space between life and death, THE RESURRECTIONIST pushes its audience to uncomfortable places--as good art should.
