Cold at Dream Theatre

Chicago Stage and Screen - Recommended

"...Cold is an in-depth look at two people's lives and while it is clearly written and well acted, there were a few small flaws in Menekseoglu's direction. I will say that it is not easy to direct and star in your own show, as the director cannot see what the actor is doing and what feels right doesn't quite work. Working in a small storefront theater, one that I am sure is on a very limited budget, the set is not all that he might have wanted it to be. A few more pieces here and there might have helped, but the overall picture that was painted by this production did work. The music (although it could be toned down in volume) was sheer magic in setting the mood and the chemistry between the two actors was magical."
