Nostalgium

My overall impression

I saw Nostalgium (starring Luke Scroggins and Tracy Dillon) last evening. It was wonderful! Very suspenseful with a well thought out foretelling/seed planting of what may happen but what is totally beyond thought at the point of introduction. There are amusing moments as evidenced by many responses of laughter by the audience. Both actors were creative in development of their characters. Tracy’s role as Sandra is developed and expressed through her artful facial/body expressions as well as her lines. You come to know her first as the play evolves; however, the focus intensely turns to Luke as the obvious comes to light (can’t go into detail without ruining the suspense). Luke skillfully interacts with the audience throughout the play as he patiently listens to Sandra’s pathology. He then pulled us into his own experiences as the story unfolded carrying us deep into his dispair and destiny. I highly recommend seeing Nostalgium and this talented performance by these two actors as directed by Alexander Scott.
