"Clearly, Rosenstock is a playwright to keep an eye on, and not just for her wicked - and wickedly effective - sense of humor. Her depiction of everyday absurdities in 'Tigers' has a ring of truth." "[Rosenstock's] subtly funny dialogue and the vivid, truthful characters keep the play grounded in prickly emotional authenticity." —NY Times "An offbeat and nuanced comedy…Rosenstock finds fresh humor in two outrageously troubled suburban families in a world of real danger." —Newsday Production Reviews"A comedy should leave the audience floating on air. Playwright Kim Rosenstock does just that with 'Tigers Be Still,' chiefly by sticking her emotionally realistic characters in oddly unrealistic circumstances. And she does it while putting them up against serious depression. In Vermont Stage's production, a cast of four works as a tight ensemble to uncover laughs where they're least expected and most welcome." —Seven Days "...depressing would hardly describe Vermont Stage’s production of Kim Rosenstock’s 'Tigers Be Still,' which opened Wednesday at FlynnSpace. Deliciously funny with a touch of oddball romance would be much more apt.. 'Tigers Be Still,' in addition to laughs, is all about hope. Vermont Stage’s delightful production, directed by Artistic Director Cristina Alicea, delivered both. And the excellent cast, all Vermonters save one, made it happen." —Times Argus |
