STAGE RAW REVIEW BY STEVEN LEIGH MORRIS

Grief: A One Man ShitShow

http://stageraw.com/2022/06/14/grief/

excerpts:
“Campbell and Schlitt have struck a remarkable balance between tragedy and glibness that settles on a sensitivity, tinged with bitterness and humor, that’s chastening for its self-awareness.”
“There are mercifully few theatrical accoutrements in this performance: a chair, a bag for props, and a dark stage. No music, no smoke effects. The centerpiece is a barefoot, bearded storyteller in blue jeans and a matching blue-collared shirt whose presentation is really a sermon as presented by a kind of theater history professor”
“Like the Greeks whom he emulates, Campbell is no fan of diversion or escapism. Life is too deadly for that, while death is an essence of being alive.”
