"CRITIC'S PICK" by Les Spindle
The tragic tale of a socially forbidden romance
is presented as a clandestine lesbian affair,
which proves to be amazingly in sync with the
play's subtext. Nanin's production is as intellectually
stimulating as it is passionate and poetic.
As the stately, domineering Leonardo, Nanin
cuts an imposing figure, while the superb Anthony
imbues the character of the reluctant bride
with a full range of emotions.
Los
Angeles Daily News
by Julio Martinez
"The driving force of this work is the tangible
ardor between Nanin's Leonardo and Anthony's
Bride.
AFTER
DARK
by Quentin Dunne
" To burn with passion and keep quite about
it is the cruelest punishment we can inflict
on ourselves," exclaims the sensual, enigmatic
Leonardo to his young lover midway through Lorca's
"Blood Wedding." This statement encapsulates
the plays central theme. In addition to playing
Leonardo Nanin directs the rest of the cast
with a steady and strong hand. To watch this
play is to watch something that comes alive
before us, that sings and dances with the courage
of it's convictions.
