Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 Reviews
ChicagoCritic- Not Recommended
"...I cannot see the worthiness of bringing back the horrors of a 1992 Race Riot in 2015. We do have our own contemporary injustices to deal with so why drudge up past problems? Better to find an actual dramatic play that ‘shows’ (dramatizes) the problem rather than ‘talks’ about it. I’d skip this one."
Chicago Stage and Screen- Highly Recommended
"...This is a must see show for people haunted by the fact that we live in a “morally tone-deaf society” and for lovers of good theater alike. And despite all the grimness and ache, there is a glimmer of hope: The Other Theater Company is now here to challenge us with the questions that refuse to go away."
Chicago Theatre Review- Highly Recommended
"...This “American masterpiece,” as Newsweek called Anna Deavere Smith’s play, was created from nine months of real-life interviews taken from hundreds of individuals. However, the power behind Jason Gerace’s stunning production comes across as one undeniable voice, one that needs to be heard by everyone."
The Fourth Walsh- Highly Recommended
"...I highly recommend everybody seeing TWILIGHT: LOS ANGELES, 1992. With the recent deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, the act and response to racism continues to be violence. It’s apparent that we, the human race, are not learning from our past mistakes. We must continue to educate ourselves and see life from others‘ perspectives."
