WW Review: Quality performances make PLATH AND ORIONinteresting evening at Cesear's Forum https://www.broadwayworld.com/cleveland/article/BWW-Review-Quality-performan... Cesear's Forum, which might be thought of as the little theatercompany "that could and can," is at it again. The theater usuallypresents challenging scripts which have small casts and require little or nosets. Artistic director Greg Cesear has followed this pattern again with hispairing two one-act plays into an evening of interest. Thisis a character, rather than a plot centered script. It is well written andgives each actress a chance to show off her talent. And talent is abundant withthese two fine actresses. (Rachel Lee Kolis and Aimee Colier) Their charactersare well-developed, with each performance completely realistic. The second act, Greg Cesear's "Plath, Sexton and the Artof Confession," features Mary Alice Beck as M.A. and Julia Kolibab as Jane.As in the first act, the performances are excellent.

They offer plenty to chew on for the superb actors selectedto bring them to the stage and for the patrons in the audience. The simple title given this collection of one-acts – “Plath andOrion” – only hints at what lies in store in what amounts to an enthrallingevening of theater. | | Virus-free. www.avg.com |
