Anna, In the Darkness

To me, this show was well made. I loved Rebecca Lincoln's performance, I believed every word. The sound and the lighting added to the heartbreaking realness of injustice, and how dark humans can be, especially if they believe they have righteousness on their side. Go see it. ... full review

Wow. Such a darkly compelling performance by Rebecca Lincoln in this stark, spooky piece. The titular Anna, a sad and haunted woman, is played to perfection by Ms. Lincoln. Her performance is well paired with the absolutely stunning sound design by Mark McClain Wilson. In fact, the soundscape is so dense and responsive, it's arguably the other "character" in this solo show. A tightly crafted production, directed by the skilled Amanda Weier. Well done.... full review

I walked in to a background of voices. The audience chimed in to create the soundscape. No fool I, I spotted Anna in the darkness cowering. What follows is a genius story, the rise of madness in a woman only surpassed by the madness of the pious. Great on all fronts. ... full review

A haunting story driven by a chillingly effective performance from Rebecca Lincoln. ... full review

Dark & deliciously sinister. This is most definitely NOT your normal Solo Show. Weier's direction is genius. Lincoln brings us into her madness slowly and completely. Her vulnerability is captivating. Bravo!... full review

Creepy and psychologically disturbing, this piece is a theatrical delight. Excellent storytelling is supported by an imaginative sound design that plunges you deep in to a world you'd really rather not visit, the world the protagonist Anna cannot escape. Actress Megan Merrill is thoroughly captivating and heartbreakingly sincere in her portrayal of a tormented school teacher suffering a living hell of judgement from her fellow townspeople. This is the perfect late-night Fringe piece: a tight little tidbit of horror that's also really good theatre. Go see it!... full review
