“Predominately, the superb actors (Sung Yun Cho, Atandwa Kani, Kaili Vernoff) relate the testimony of 18 witnesses with acute sentience and rationality, absent of the emotional human content until the end when Rishi’s mother pours out her heart (poignantly rendered by Atandwa Kani).”

“Under the taut direction of Erwin Maas and performed by a cast of three, the production is intentionally as devoid of stagecraft as they come. The set design consists of a long table of the sort you might find in a science lab, a couple of microphones, and projected images from security cameras. The audience is seated in an area that extends on all four sides of the table. The actors (Sung Yun Cho, Atandwa Kani, and Kaili Vernoff) play multiple roles, ages and genders. All is very clinical. Your attention to any of the particularities will depend on your own curiosity.”

Redwood Curtain – Broadway“A state-of-the-nation piece for the 90’s! Lanford Wilson’s most powerful play since Talley’s Folly. A master storyteller, he has written Redwood Curtain with enormous wit and compassion, a real yarn with a satisfying old-fashioned mousetrap of a plot. Jeff Daniels and Sung Yun Cho deliver the rending performances Redwood Curtain demands.”
Frank Rich, NY Times“Ms. Cho is transformed from an imitation grown-up into a true adult, her face and personality weathered by complex new self knowledge that lowers the curtain on her glib youth.”
Frank Rich, NY Times“Sung Yun Cho is marvelous, feisty and strong-willed.”
Pia Lindstrom, NBC-TV“Geri must be adorable and irritating, an almost impossible feat that Cho valiantly wrestles to a near triumph.”
Jack Kroll, Newsweek“Outer Critics Circle Award nominee for Best Newcomer on Broadway”

Review/Theater: Lanford Wilson’s Comment on the U.S. in the 90’s
Everyone knows America’s Vietnam nightmare has finally been laid to rest, buried both by the heroic military victory of Operation Desert Storm and by the Presidential victory of an antiwar protester of the Vietnam era. So why would an American playwright be so rude, let alone unfashionable, as to disinter the rotten corpse again right now?
