Plasticity Reviews
Broadway World- Recommended
"...Kudos to all the creatives for certainly one of the more sophisticatedly technical shows ever put on in a small theatre. Video designer Corwin Evans utilizes stunning visuals to vividly illustrate the twins' various childhood and grown-up memories, landscapes, hospital rooms, close-ups of the various people involved, and the denotation of passing time. Composer and sound designer Ken Rich, in tandem with, set and lighting designer Matt Richter immeasurably complement the quick scene changes, while advancing the story and delineating personalities."
Edge- Somewhat Recommended
"...The world premiere of co-writers Alex Lyras and Robert McCaskill's mind-blowing new play, "Plasticity," is a rich, if somewhat flawed, experience, unlike most stage, shows you're likely to find. "
LA Splash- Highly Recommended
"...PLASTICITY blends cutting-edge science with masterful storytelling and technological sophistication as it addresses profound questions of being. This is a poignant and intriguing glimpse into what goes on in the deepest reaches of the brain."
Stage Scene LA- Highly Recommended
"...Under McCaskill's razor-sharp direction, Lyras positively dazzles in one minutely detailed, immediately identifiable character after another, at times conversing in rapid-fire back-and-forth exchanges and even, occasionally, playing one character live opposite another on video."
Will Call- Somewhat Recommended
"...The intermission- less performance is almost overwhelming, as told in four parts and many, many days (I stopped counting at 84). If you're in the mood for light hearted entertainment, look elsewhere but the audience, on my night, was ecstatic."
Stage Raw- Somewhat Recommended
"...The result of this gangly inclusion and intermingling of personas, combined with the continual bouncing around to different locales, is layer upon layer of unessential gabble, puzzling digressions, and a play that trainwrecks early on, then caps off with a convenient soap opera style ending."
