Still Life Reviews
LA Splash- Recommended
"...STILL LIFE is definitely a play for adults. Its pace is slow but thorough as it explores multiple issues which everyone faces sooner or later. The action picks up in the second act, but STILL LIFE still focuses on internal rather than external conundrums. This is a production which should leave the audience with thought-provoking questions long after the show is over."
Stage Scene LA- Highly Recommended
"...Questions of love and mortality propel Still Life, Alexander Dinelaris's mostly compelling look at a couple of damaged souls with a shared belief in death's imminent arrival, a Rogue Machine West Coast Premiere that proves most effective when centering on its two leads, stunningly portrayed by Laurie Okin and Lea Coco."
On Stage Los Angeles- Highly Recommended
"...Still Life will only be up for a short time longer. If Sunday's excellent performance with standby James Liebman (in for Lea Coco) as the artistically conflicted statistician, Jeffrey, is any indication of the dedication of this group, it's a must see."
Stage Raw- Somewhat Recommended
"...Still Life suffers further from Dinelaris' view of a disillusioned and dysfunctional generation. Peretzian does instill veracity into the characters' interactions - particularly the romantic blooming between Carrie Ann and Jeffrey. But it is telling that in the final scene Carrie Ann lifts her camera to immortalize her subject, staying true to her quest to preserve that which will eventually be lost forever. She has not evolved. Dinelaris' play lacks a moving dramatic through line, leaving us begging the question of our stunted protagonist, "What's the matter with you?""
