The Wind Phone presented by MadKap Productions at Skokie Theatre

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...The title refers to a pay phone in Ōtsuchi, Iwate Prefecture, Japan, where people come to call their dead relatives. It's a marvelous concept (I suspect I am not alone when I confess that long before we had what were initially called "car phones," I had a plastic Fisher-Price superglued to my dashboard that I'd regularly use to check in on my grandparents). But The Wind Phone rattles through Big Topics as if it's ticking off boxes rather than telling a story. And subjected to overheated monologues, it loses its power."

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...Sergel’s dialogue is exceptionally well-crafted and poignant; the conflicts she creates are incredibly real; the raw emotion is palpable. What adds interest is how nicely the conversations are organized in dyads and triads. It’s not just the the uses of language that are impressive but the body language too. And the story is moving—which is meant in more than one sense of the word! The mother has already moved out of the house; the mother and daughters need to move on with their lives; and the show is both touching and sad and yet very watchable."
