performance text

What a brilliant, multimedia work! Samuael Topiary is creative, for sure, especially with her writing. Her acting, though, is mediocre, and the acoustics of this theater is not good. Also, it’s way too much monologue, not enough interaction or conversation.

That notwithstanding, her effort resonates with the cross genre, multimedia nature of art for me, and it offers me guidance on how I may eventually stage The Room.  And I repeat, Topiary is brilliant and creative!
