On Stage Los Angeles - Somewhat Recommended

"...Ms Parker, if she finds a way to pump up the volume, add color and lose the off stage voices, digging more deeply into her heart felt discussions with those phantoms (her mother was a friggin' haradan!) with faster pacing and intensity, becoming even more intimate: it might bring her more work and certainly a broader audience. There is someone at home. Turn more lights on!"

"...Listening to Parker's account can be trepidatious, as Silvie Zamora's grating cacophonous "Gladys" voiceover effectively conjures the fear and anxiety Rachel grew up with. But despite its dark elements, The Wolfe & The Bird emerges an uplifting, entertaining show. Parker is warm and likable and easy to root for. Under Alina Phelan's direction, the narrative comes simply but attractively packaged - a couple of set pieces to convey the interior of Rachel's bedroom, distinctive lighting by Matt Richter, and a striking story-enhancing sound design by Stephen Epstein. A couple of wrinkles in pacing in this premiere performance are sure to be ironed out as the run continues."
