CIRCLE MIRROR

TRANSFORMATION

Actors in dynamic poses on a dimly lit stage

Dartmouth College, 2016

WHEN FOUR LOST NEW ENGLANDERS WHO ENROLL IN MARTY'S SIX-WEEK-LONG COMMUNITY-CENTER DRAMA CLASS IN SHIRLEY, VERMONT BEGIN TO EXPERIMENT WITH HARMLESS GAMES, HEARTS ARE QUIETLY TORN APART, AND TINY WARS OF EPIC PROPORTIONS ARE WAGED AND WON. A BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED DIORAMA, A PETRI DISH IN WHICH WE SEE, WITH HILARIOUS DETAIL AND CLARITY, THE ANTIC SADNESS OF A MOTLEY QUINTET.

“A sophisticated, elegant, and tasteful production”
