So my play Static has opened in a production by Third Rail Repertory Theatre in Portland Oregon at the Imago Theatre. I can't get over to see it but the photos look stunning - there's a large abstract set with a couple dozen lightboxes that serve as setting. The lighting is atmospheric, darkly coloured. The reviews suggest really strong performances from the cast: Maureen Porter, Sam Dinkowitz, Rolland Walsh and Kelly Godell. I'll stick some more photos up as I get them.
There's been some coverage:
- Review by Barry Johnson for Oregon Artswatch
- Review by Leela Ginelle for PQ Monthly
- Review by Meg Currell for Edge Media Network
- Review by Celina Russell for Oregon Live
- Review by Nathan Carson for Willamette Week
- The last dress rehearsal was movingly livetweeted, mostly under the hashtag #TRRTStatic
And the company has produced some resources:
- The company have put together a study guide, which is fun.
- And someone very enterprising has put together a YouTube Playlist of the tape that Chris leaves for Sarah.
