Reviews…
The Comrades’ production, directed by Arianna Soloway, strikes the ideal balance between ordinary and uncanny that this play requires. Cydney Moody is delicately sympathetic as Jean in a grown-up Wonderland. Caroline Latta is batty and outsize as Gordon’s mother, Lynette Li a loose cannon of a wound-up woman as Hermia, Gordon’s wife. Bryan Breau makes the most of his momentary manifestation as Gordon. And the cell-phone ballet of Ruhl’s script is indicated throughout, the familiar transition of transmission made strangely wonderful.
