Phaedra's Love
by Sarah Kane World's Stage Company May 2014 |
"We should vigorously applaud the courageous decision to produce this haunting, poetic and highly moral play, which has a great deal to say about the way we live now, in a plasticized world that has lost its depth — and in which even sex and violence cannot rescue us from our benumbed inability to feel."
- Mike Fischer, Journal Sentinel "Hoffmann gets potent, often emotionally naked performances from her actors, and stages the story inventively. Through the course of the hour-long play, a stage no bigger than a large living room is transformed into a prison cell, funeral pyre and Roman agora through simple theatrical slight of hand." - Paul Kosidowski, Milwaukee Magazine |
