ROTTERDAM REVIEWS
Los Angeles Times - Critics Choice
"Rotterdam" arrives in Los Angeles in a PITCH-PERFECT staging at the Skylight Theatre in Los Feliz.
ABSORBING... Gifted young cast ...plunges so deeply into the heart of the matter that we respond with whole catalogs of emotion. Shepperd's staging is so crisp that even the between-scenes set changes have a choreography to them.
Stage Raw- Recommended
TOP TEN! A compelling new age love story that is enhanced by its TRANSCENDENT casting
Convergence of FANTASTIC TALENTS - writing, directing & acting.
Make ROTTERDAM a destination you need to visit.
BRILLIANT writing, direction and character portrayals
Crisp, entertaining production of this DECEPTIVELY FUNNY Olivier-winner...
Brittain’s brilliant play is truly universal in its scope...in a single moment, everything changes.
Anyone who has been in a long-term relationship – straight, gay, trans, or otherwise – will certainly recognize that situation.
To put it metaphorically, we’ve all been to Rotterdam.
A beautifully written, brilliantly directed, gorgeously produced, and wonderfully acted TRIUMPH
Rotterdam is FUNNY, it’s SAD it’s WISE, it’s ABSURD, it’s EMOTIONAL, it’s PROFOUND, and yes, it’s TOPICAL.
But don’t let that scare you off.
REFRESHING. Thoroughly intriguing...truly an extraordinary welcomed addition...
Extremely well-directed...Superb cast
L.A. intimate theater at its most cutting-edge and compelling.
A RIVETING, THRILLINGLY STAGED West Coast Premiere.
GO! Shepperd hasn’t earned his reputation as one of L.A.’s best directors for naught.
Billed as “a queer love story about all of us,” the show lives up to that hype.
The Cast is Extraordinary...Rotterdam is a Polished, Brilliant, NOT TO BE MISSED piece of theatre.
Perfect show to see for a NIGHT OF GREAT THEATER. Relatable and heartwarming.
It is such a topical and engaging story that brings the human experience in all its shapes and forms
to life the way only the Skylight Theatre can produce.
An urgently important play, intelligently exploring territory which other writers haven’t yet really touched
with such UNDERSTANDING, HUMOR, and an overwhelmingly sense of HUMANITY…incredibly timely
A FANTASTIC ACHIEVEMENT achievement, exploring complex issues rarely seen in media with
honesty and sensitivity. It is a play that will not only make you think, but teach you about
life experiences and identities you may not share, at a time in the world when understanding others and
showing compassion feels so critical. Don't miss it.
