Gidion’s Knot, Bartlett Theatre
By Johnna Adams
Scenic Design by Tab May
Lighting Design by Anthony Cacchione
Sound Design by John Fredette
Fight Choreography by Jill Matarelli Carlson
“Direction: Bryan Conger keeps the tension tightly wired as the twists and turns pile up. In this 90-minute one-act play, which takes place in continuous real time, he keeps the action interesting by using every corner of the classroom space.”
“Bryan Conger directs them with absolute precision and creativity, allowing for both utter stillness and jarring eruptions.”
“Director Bryan Conger must have felt like a referee in a clash of titans as the company mounted this show. The metaphorical pot begins to boil very quickly, and he expertly keeps it stirred all the way to the end.”
“To say that playwright Johnna Adams’ 2012 drama is well-written, and that Bartlett Theater produces it well, is an understatement. Get ready for immense intense suspense — don’t miss Gidion’s Knot.
