Quantum Theatre's Tamara

Theater Reviews + Features | Pittsburgh City Paper: Without a doubt, Tamara is Quantum Theatre's most exhausting production. For the audience, at least — physically for sure, intellectually and emotionally, too. It must be quite a handful for the cast and crew as well.

Based on real people in early (1927) Fascist Italy, John Krizanc and Richard Rose's interactive drama takes place in various rooms of a grand villa; the splendid halls of Rodef Shalom Congregation make a lovely stand-in. Audience members can choose which characters/threads of the story to pursue: upstairs, downstairs, all around the house. The evening even includes a catered meal at intermission.
