Off to enjoy the 4th of July weekend in Yosemite so not much time but since this is one of the few other things to do in town that is NOT 4th of July related and it is wonderful, I want to make sure you know about it.
How often do we get to see a play where there are only 2 characters and they're women in their 50s? and where the play is written by a woman? and directed by a woman? and where it's delightful, funny, and poignant all at the same time? Basically never.
This play is that. It's been called Thelma and Louise meet David Mamet (or something to that effect. I really loved it. And its directed by someone that I had never seen direct before--and she did a fantastic job--although something about the set was a little distracting, the long way around to the porch, she made it work. It's up through July 21st. See it
“This two-woman show is, in turns, hilarious, tense and surprising.” SN&R
“Outstanding acting shines in the hilarious Capital Stage play ‘The Roommate’.” Davis Enterprise
“Director Dena Martinez steers playwright Silverman’s dark comedy with aplomb. She lets the themes of friendship, trust and self-identity reveal the transformational possibilities of life. In her hands – and that of two extraordinary actors – Silverman’s saga of how to re-make oneself and how to deal with the consequences is excellent theater.” Sacramento Press
