Bachelorette Reviews
Chicago Reader- Highly Recommended
"...This gnarly, in-yer-face 2010 dark comedy by Leslye Headland shares some surprising thematic and stylistic crossover with Davis's previous show, and like it, benefits from his close attention to casual back-and-forths-even if the outcome this time around is straight-up misanthropic. Ensconced in her friend's bridal suite, a late twentysomething (Carmen Molina) invites old friends for a night of debauchery and learns the hard way the difference between what's long past cute and what's irrevocably horrid. This Level 11 production is a ferocious ensemble effort all-around."
Third Coast Review- Recommended
"...Deep into Leslye Headland’s Bachelorette, the 2008 comedy currently receiving a lean, energetic revival at the Den Theatre courtesy of Level 11 Theatre, one character, eulogizing Marilyn Monroe, posits “vomiting from too many pills or getting wasted… that’s what made her the greatest actor ever.” It’s worth noting that the unofficial subtitle of this play is “gluttony.” Part of the playwright’s “seven deadly sins” series, the piece is certainly filled with excess–it is, after all, set on the night before a wedding, the night where those not involved in the more presentable aspects of the ceremony can afford to let loose, indulge, and just maybe have the best night ever."
