Wow,wow, wow.
Do yourself a favor: clear your Fringe schedule and see this play. You won’t regret it.
“Rise” hits on every level. The performances are pitch-perfect, the staging muscular and dangerous and the writing feverish and potent.
This play is Sam Shepard cracked out on evangelical Christianity.
But the comparison to Shepard is only to give you some idea of the flavor of the piece. “Rise” certainly stands on its own as an original work of art that deserves to be recognized for its rawness and honesty in every phase of production and performance.
Once again, see this play.
I go the Fringe to be floored. “Rise” was the first play that floored me.
This is the real deal. You’ll be talking it about it for hours afterward. I was.
