When the Rain Stops Falling Reviews
Los Angeles Times- Recommended
"...There's no sugarcoating the relentlessly downbeat mood here. Vivid impressions linger from Frédérique Michel's fierce staging, which underscores the play's austere geometric narrative structure with underplayed, admirably uniform performances and abstract choreography; the pent-up emotional floodgates open only in carefully controlled doses."
LA Weekly- Recommended
"...From a fish magically dropping from the sky at the outset to the literal unpacking of family history at an intergenerational "last supper" of sorts, the play rewards those with a temperament for non-linear storytelling (and the stamina for two hours sans intermission) with a thought-provoking meditation on coping with the tragedies of life."
Total Theater- Recommended
"...Tightly written, skillfully directed and acted, When the Rain Stops Falling is a provocative and challenging play that resonates afterwards like a haunting piece of music."
Santa Monica Daily Press- Recommended
"...Relatively speaking this is a more conventional drama, albeit punctuated with the trademark artistic, choreographic and theatrical design elements that City Garage is renowned for, especially under the direction of Frédérique Michel. Stark contrasting colors, multi-level platforms and synchronized movements mark this work."
