Dael Orlandersmith’s ‘Until the Flood’ at ACT Theatre is a searing look at community, post-Ferguson

The Seattle Times: Dael Orlandersmith is one of those actors who pulls you in close wherever she performs.

At ACT Theatre, Orlandersmith’s searing solo piece “Until the Flood” is staged in the in-the-round Allen Theatre, which furthers the intimacy between performer and audience. Ringed by Takeshi Kata’s design of clusters of stuffed toys, flowers, candles and other familiar tributes to the young dead, it’s a good place for holding that conversation — the one about race.
