Actors Kyle Purcell and Amelia Sargisson throw down fierce and engrossing performances as a man and woman facing both their worst fears and the worst parts of each other. British playwright Philip Ridley’s poetic script glides in and out of fantasy to relay a story of love in the aftermath of loss, with its occasionally overwrought lyricism balanced by the actors’ no-holding-back physicality—some of the slaps sound like they hurt. The small venue serves the material well, bringing you right inside the blast radius of this Molotov cocktail of pain and intimacy.

The chemistry they created together on stage could only be described as magical.”(Glenn Verano in Mooney On Theatre.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb5b62b9b10ef18a7eb2772/1590785284573-46IAMA17YVXHJ20KT6CW/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Directing - TENDER NAPALM by Philip Ridley - Now Magazine: Outstanding Direction Outstanding Ensemble Outstanding Design Summerworks 2013 https://cynthiaashperger.org/directing-portfolio/project-three-p63as monthly 0.5 2020-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb5b62b9b10ef18a7eb2772/1590778198122-48DFK9PX2E4EP4SIN5Y3/F9D8BCA9-2405-48BC-8378-2FED51D7E4AD.jpeg Directing - GEORGE KAPLAN by Frederik Sontag https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb5b62b9b10ef18a7eb2772/1590781552159-WQ0194DULVITAMOZBZZT/George+Kaplan+-+foto-0181.jpg Directing - GEORGE KAPLAN by Frederik Sontag - “George Kaplan is a truly interesting show.

The second part is full of humor and ends with the desperate Bob’s mass shooting, played masterfully by Bosnjak. After he shoots everyone upon the stage he moves on to the rest of the building and our seamlessly moves to the screen”.
