Meet Phoenix: an artist, but of the written word. The poet is surrounded by artists in a fish tank of memories. Some nice, some not so. Will she break through the walls of the tank or continue to swim in circles? This is a uniquely-told story by the fierce young playwrite Sharla Steiman.
NUVO review
3 stars
Slam poetry and hip hop rhyming effectively propel a story of love lost
and unrequited in this powerfully acted drama written by Sharla Steiman
and directed by Ty Stover. Set in a bohemian pad recalling the opera La
Boheme, this piece features particularly strong performances by Lauren
Briggerman and Jonah Winston. Steiman’s script is overstuffed with
language, compensating a bit for a rather flimsy plot. But this language is
also, at times, inspired and raises intriguing questions about how words
define and limit us. - David Hoppe
