Riverside Theatre's Sonnets for an Old Century
April 16-25, 2021 streaming Written by José Rivera Directed by Adam Knight In a land of unimaginable distance, can a stories forge connection? Can a life be encompassed in the space of a sonnet? A cast of twenty attempts to give voice to the meaning of their existence in José Rivera’s riveting quiltwork drama, inescapably modern with echoes of Spoon River Anthology. A diverse kaleidoscope of expressions on what it means to be alive. |
In the Press: "It’s a poetic masterpiece, and I could go on for paragraphs about its themes and throughlines and artistry....I also want to note the distinct physicality and engaging expressiveness of Barrington Vaxter as Kevin (my notes on the moment literally just say “Barrington Barrington-ing”); the all-consuming, full-throated wholeness of Mia Fryvecind Gimenez as Cordelia; the exceptional honesty of Diviin Huff as Alene; the tireless focus of John William Watkins as Sam. But again, the whole cast shone, offering gracious, heartbreaking and heart-mending performances.
