Venezuela @ fringeNYC 2005
In the seedy underground stations of Berlin, a teenage group “surfs” subway trains. Suddenly, their lives are shattered by the death of their leader. But when they cover up the horrific accident, a bizarre fantasy emerges…set in magical Venezuela.
"On set designer Joe Powell's graffiti- and snipe-covered re-creation of a subway platform (and with Bill Kirby's effectively subtle sound design providing apt aural color), James David Jackson's production simmers with the quiet intensity of overly hopeful dreams that can't help but fall to the harshness of reality."
"Venezuela's absurdist leanings disguise what's essentially a straightforward, heartwarming drama about confronting uncomfortable facts . . . reminding us that this is a young, emerging, impetuous theater company."
"Venezuela, ably directed by James David Jackson, is a thoughtful, challenging piece of theatre."
