This Way Yonder

I am a sucker for adorable meet cutes, and this show had a SUPER adorable meet cute. Majorie really goes for it and I loved her work with this character. ... full review

A very funny, touching play that cuts to the quick and pulls no punches. It’s refreshing to a see a play that tells the truth even when it isn’t pretty! Loved the Southern Florida swamp crabbing characters. Each character was so specific, flawed and different yet relatable. They all were distinctly Southern in attitude, beliefs and cadence. There was not an empty moment even when there was no one speaking. Very moving! A great evening at the theatre!... full review

A solid realistic story about hard working people in a part of the country that deals with devastating natural disasters, and how these people deal with their desperate situation. This Way Yonder is also a family drama that captures the conflicts of interests between older and younger generations.... full review

Beautifully written piece by Montana Cypress, set in Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew. A beautiful thought provoking and engaging piece.... full review

Beautiful and heartbreaking - despite some slight performance issues that can be tweaked (some projection issues, and one of the characters in my mind was played over the top), gifted playwright Montana Cypress paints with a vivid indelible brush. The characters are compelling, memorable and linger with you long after the show is over. One of the best of the Fringe for sure. I could see this playing Off-Broadway.... full review

This Way Yonder is a really beautiful story about complex family dynamics, independence, and growing pains set in a very specific time and place insomuch as this story could not have taken place anywhere else. The writing is reminiscent of a more humor-driven Tennessee Williams, and the cast's preparation really showed in monologue after monologue, hitting each nuanced note with care. Not to mention the chemistry between the cast was easy and believable, and the direction was seamless. Highly recommended. ... full review

An extremely heartfelt performance with a great mother-daughter relationship at it's center. Marjorie was an amazing actor and she led the whole cast wonderfully. The show was full many of emotional moments and the ending will shock you -- in the good way! ... full review

I've seen other work by this playwright, and I always appreciate the poetic language woven throughout. Felt a bit of a Tennessee Williams vibe in this particular piece. ... full review

A complex and affecting tale with a skilled attention to detail in terms of time and place. The show really evokes a lot of authentic emotion, and the result is something purely theatrical. ... full review
