Before The Red Trees Come

My overall impression

I’d never seen a “silent play” before tonight, but trying new things is what the Hollywood Fringe Festival is all about, right? I’m so glad I checked this one out.

The play begins with Kristopher Lee Bicknell’s character asleep on stage, and follows the course of his day. His story is silly and sad, heartwarming and heartbreaking.

I’m amazed at how much of an emotional connection I felt to a play with no dialogue. Tonight’s performance was sold out, but if you can get tickets, definitely see it — this is one you’ll remember.
