Talkin' Broadway
June 14th, 2022

"Although there are moments of suspense thanks to some effective lighting, sound, and projection design (by, respectively, Paul Bartlett, Fan Zhang, and Tuânminh A Đỗ), the dialog becomes repetitive and increasingly philosophic and abstract, ending in some future place where Edith, permanently encased, a statue of salt, muses on her ultimate defiance, unhumbled and still looking back and remembering."

"'Don’t Look Back,' by Adam Kraar, highlights current issues and profound themes in his reimagining of the Biblical story of Lot and his family fleeing Sodom and Gomorrah. With a minimalistic set devised in the round at HERE by director Wayne Maugans, we watch as Lot (Jeff Rubino), his wife Edith (Cynthia Bastidas), older daughter Annie (Masha King) and youngest Molly (Lina Silver) travel with suitcases through a desert wilderness, carrying just a few remnants of their previous life."
