“Reykjavík” Review | Playing through May 30
“Reykjavik” is the second show in the Road Theatre Company’s 2021 virtual season. Their fantastic live recorded performance format gives us the best possible seat in the house, using four cameras and seamless live editing to give us the best of both worlds. “Reykjavik” is an exquisite play, truly. Its magical realism seems the perfect fit for stories set in a world so different from our own. All black beaches and green mountains and steaming hot water. As if every element is really existing as its opposite. So maybe that’s the magic of the place and why these strange, compelling, devastating and savage stories fit so very well there. More>>

And with that power comes stories, more stories about that other half of the world. More>>
