A STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE OF BEES

by Elena Hartwell

Oldcastle Theatre Company

"Longtime regional favorite (Melissa) Hurst delivered Rud's even-keeled irony and embering sensuality in a package that had the audience eating from her hands...we took every word of Rud's to heart. Hurst's ability to rip out our hearts was flawlessly on display in the tears she evoked from Lissa and from the rest of us."

"This is a deeply intelligent and evolving play with endless empathy and a dose of understated humor; its themes and acting are a must-see."

"This is a world-class production, the most memorable play I have seen since the original Orphans
at Steppenwolf in Chicago in 1985. Yes, you read that right, the best play I have seen in 25 years.."

"The miracle we see on the Oldcastle stage is how magnificently five actors who love their material can become more than an ensemble, but a family that interconnects on multiple levels on stage."

"Two hours of honest and engaging theatre beautifully acted on the perfect set."
