Dinner with Friends presented by Bluebird Arts at Theater Wit

Chicago Theatre Review - Recommended

"...Donald Margulies has shrewdly captured the fragile essence of these emotional shifts in this two-hour drama. And Ms. Solomon is wise. She’s allowed the laughter to evolve naturally but never forces the humor. After all, this isn’t a TV sitcom but a serious play in which the comedy is derived from the characters’ realistic, but sometimes bizarre behavior. And Ms. Solomon’s staging demonstrates how simply a scene change can take place within Samantha Rausch’s gorgeous Set Design, with just some subtle furniture rearrangement. Brilliant! And kudos to Laura Sturm for her tasteful intimacy coordination. Not an earthshaking play, but a sensitive production with much to say. Bluebird’s sixth season is off to an excellent start."
