“Reykjavík” Review | Extended through June 13
“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>>

Female Film Directors You Should Know
Female film directors – a new normal at last? As we find our weary way back to some kind of normal, I grow increasingly hopeful that it won’t mean a return to the way things used to be at all. Especially in the film business. Over the past year or so we have seen more female directors becoming visible, successful and celebrated and with that success comes power. And with that power comes stories, more stories about that other half of the world. More>>
