Spotlighters has created an experience for its patrons. For the most part, I did feel like I was in Anatevka, privy to all the whisperings and Sabbath prayers.
This production is not that big win, but it is an opportunity to see a different type of experimentation in the context of what is, in this production as much as any other, a beautiful, complex, and heartfelt score.
This production had many good details combined with some overlooked details that made for a decent, but not spectacular, production.
This production was certainly a valiant experiment that seemed to be embraced by everyone involved; unfortunately, it was just not a successful one.
There are a lot of things that need work in this production, but, in context of the Baltimore Playwrights Festival, it is the closest so far to what you would expect from a production in the actual theatre season.
Every actor, every detail, every moment, and every note comes across like it was carefully planned and considered in order to undertake this challenging endeavor.
