Review: Circle Mirror Transformation
Circle Mirror Transformation, reviewed by Wendy Rosenfield, produced by Theatre Horizon, directed by Matthew Decker, written by Annie Baker, featuring Emilie Krause, Nancy Boykin, David Bardeen, Kim Carson, Bob Weick.
Some of the acting exercises and their repetition make for antsy viewing, but stick with it; Baker's an artisan, and everything is placed where it is for a good reason. Her dialogue and built-in extended pauses seem so natural I had to double-check the script to see if the actors were ad-libbing. They weren't. That's what a play without Real Acting feels like: it feels a lot like living.
Circle Mirror Transformation Through March 16 at Theatre Horizon, 401 DeKalb St., Norristown Tickets: $25- $35. 610-283-2230 or www.TheatreHorizon.org
