Review: SATE Presents THE 8TH ANNUAL APHRA BEHN FESTIVAL at The Chapel
The entertaining 8th Annual Aphra Bren Festival successfully gave fresh female, transgender, and non-binary voices the medium to have their works professionally produced and be heard. Four playwrights presented new works as part of the Festival. Anne Valentino’s play THE THE stood out amount the produced works. It was creatively staged, paced, and magnificently blocked by director Michelle Hand. Valentino’s play illustrated a maturity in storytelling with strong voice that provided a message that resonates. Hand, Baker, Keating, and David Cooperstein collaborated to create a memorable production.
