In Cigarettes and Chocolate, this brilliant writer (The English Patient, Truly, Madly, Deeply), takes a humorous and human look at London life in the 1980’s that tests the social responsibilities of urbanites, who as Minghella said, quoting Oscar Wilde, “know the price of everything and the value of nothing.” Coupled with Hang Up, this is a stunning evening of two rarely performed works originally written to be performed on radio
Congratulations on this beautiful review…for both plays!
“Terrific. Language used passionately and brilliantly…it’s the words that make these plays work and the actors have complete mastery over them. They rival anything you’ll find on bigger commercial stages” – Santa Monica Daily Press
Los Angeles Daily News: “Michael Peretzian directs with enough subtext and reactions to start the audience’s imagination moving and filling in any blanks…Under Peretzian’s direction, the performances are evocative, clear, simple and moving. ”
StageSceneLA review – Cigs & Choc/Hang Up “Placing the emphasis on a playwright’s words and a cast’s gifts at bringing them to life, the latest from Pacific Resident Theatre proves an unexpected—and entirely unique—dramatic treat” – StageSceneLA
