PRESS QUOTES

“Costume designer Christianne Myers astutely dresses Leydenfrost in worn, stained, beaten layers of clothes, as well as a faded knit hat and a series of bags. Tom Whalen’s sound design brings Leydenfrost’s dog to life, and provides the quietly moving last scene with its soundtrack. Noele Stollmack’s lighting design, which integrated a subtle mist within the forest, played up the play’s elements of mystery.”

“It is hard to describe this play without using the word “magical” – not only because it’s an enchanting story, but because the main character, Geri, is a young piano prodigy who does in fact have supernatural gifts.”
