Review: I Am My Own Wife
A light touch of her pearls, a soft swish of the matronly black apron over the black lace of a modest skirt. She turns a squeaky crank and delicately places the needle to the record as the soft static of an Edison phonograph prepares to tell its symphonic story. Behind her--antiques. Clocks, record players, sideboards... looming just behind the lace scrim screens. And on a table, small representations of these things, lingering memories of the grandeur of her famous museum in Bernlin-Mahlsdorf.
Review: Opus
A review by Bradley Troll
"At it's best, it's like making love... at it's worst, it's like swallowing Drano." This analogy is used to describe a quartet making music. However, Southern Rep's performance of Opus by Michael Hollinger takes this sentiment beyond the lines of a staff and onto the boards of a stage. A true act of creation, Opus is love, music, and theatre in harrowing harmony.
