Still Reviews
Chicago Reader- Somewhat Recommended
"...Still, which won the Yale Drama Series Award, raises some interesting issues about mourning and loss, but it's not very dramatic or interesting despite featuring a strong non-Equity ensemble under the direction of Georgette Verdin for Interrobang Theatre. Silverman's characters talk, move around the stage, and strike poses; they just don't change, develop, or reveal anything about themselves or the world around them. Which is a shame, because there are flashes when we see what superb work her cast is capable of. Matthew Nerber, for example, is quite winning as the perky ghost, eager to learn about a world he's no longer part of."

"...Absurdity works against morality. Yet Silverman seems to be writing more for a clutched-hanky audience than one that might prefer abstraction to reason, judgment to sympathy or intellect to emotion. That her play adheres to patterns of wish fulfillment is not necessary a bad thing. But to fight a battle against your impulses as a playwright and expect people to pay money for it is indulgent. As a relatively young work, "Still" sees what it wants to be but hasn't accepted what it is yet."
