Co-directors Peter Reynolds and Brandon McShaffrey provide masterful staging, clearly delineating the many quick-change locations with striking imagery....this story demands to be seen.
THE TEMPERAMENTALS is starkly staged, sharply lit, and keenly relevant in 2012, amidst the ongoing debate over the gay right to marriage and the deadly bullying of gay youths.

"Peter Reynolds and Brandon McShaffrey co-direct with appealing formality and precision. Their stylish direction, enhanced by particularized lighting, suits the screenplay-feel. And well integrated incidental songs and fragments of music —a hallmark of a Marans play— contribute much to the mood. Generally it’s a low key performance and the small cast is solid. John Jarboe makes a fetching Rudi." |
